Default 4/22 DERBY/OAKS DAWN PATROL: Downs quiet, relaxed..

Glorious, breezy morning at CD and very quiet with few Derby participants on the scene. Bodemeister, Dullahan, Mark Valeski the post-break gallopers while Oaks miss Amie's Dini with an easy :50 maintenance half under Jon Court..

Back later with some notes..

In non-Derby/Oaks action, Former Ward underachiever Dancinginherdreams, now in Bill Mott's barn, looks superb in :46.2 move. Considering Humana Distaff start.

Romans' F&M Sprint Division heavyweight Sassy Image, seeking to defend her Distaff title, very sharp under Tammy Fox with :46-ish half giving a grassy barnmate a 5+ length head start and collaring them by the wire..

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.....

Is the track open to the general public to view workouts? I'll be there Saturday morning, and with the night racing, was looking for something to do early in the day. Got a buddy coming with me. His first track expericence will be at Keeneland Friday.

That would be a four-way.



Thanks for the reports, Steve. Looking forward to many, many more.

6a. The closest thing to a schedule is the CD Media Office's notes (http://www.kentuckyderby.com/news/stories) and twitter feed (https://twitter.com/#!/DerbyMedia).

It's real. I think I used to drive by it everyday when I was in Louisville for a couple months. It's real close to the Trackside Training Center.

I should say I'd drive by it everyday with Wismer in his truck. I didn't drive at that time.

Frisch's is real. HQ is on Gilbert Avenue in Cincinnati about 5 minutes from where I work.

And thank you to the person who noted that if you have beans with your chili, spaghetti and cheese that is one type of 4-way. The more traditional 4-way in Cincy is with onions, not beans. Probably TMI...
