Geez. That seems pretty aggressive. Is that "too fast" a week before the Derby?

As long as he did it in hand, no. Smarty worked like 57 2/5 before the Derby and everybody said "oh he's cooked" blah blah blah, but as Lukas said "fast horses work fast"

Wildcat Bettie B is a pretty talented horse, likely a BC F&M Sprint contender, and if he blew her doors off like it said he did then he's ready to roll.
