Not at all... Just hasn't done much in the mornings.. Paddock visits and light gallops. Was more engaged today. Seems fine.

QUICK WORK RECAP: Rough second half of drill for Vyjack who started well enough but finished poorly; Sharp efforts from the endlessly eager Rose to Gold and increasingly possible starter Golden Soul..

GALLOPERS: The McPeek 'Brothers' Java's War and Frac Daddy impress daily; Normandy Invasion and Orb carry on nicely..

Sorry, I should have explained. I heard you and Welsch and Mig talking about this. I was just surprised to read Rudy's comments on the work, saying he really didn't get into him.

Got ya. Was one of those tough situations. Not sure what Rudy could have said... Maybe, "I'm glad I didn't need a cattle prod."

Looks very good. All the Pletchers do. Like an army. Headed over shortly as she works at 6a. Girls early set. Boys at the Derby/Oaks set at 8:30a..

Steve,
You go to all the Derbies, how many horses in the last ten years have looked great training up to the Derby and have won? Pletcher's horses always look good and we all know his Derby record. He looks strong this year but I don't know.

It's hard not to become a fan watching her every morning. It would be a huge win for her and Santoro if she could be 3rd. She gives everything she has EVERY morning and comes back the next day for more.
