Quick look at the Belmont Work Tab:

Saturday:
King of the Roxy: 6F in 1:14:92 (1/2). Looks like he worked in company with Sunriver, who was clocked at the same distance and time.

Soaring By: 5F in 1:01:02 (3/13)

Looks like a bunch more Pletcher's worked Sunday, but none of the Derby 5. Are they all at Belmont?

From Brisnet.com

Hutcheson S. (G2) hero and Santa Anita Derby (G1) runner-up Kingoftheroxy, who worked six furlongs in 1:14 4/5 on Saturday, went straight back to the track on Sunday. The Team Valor colorbearer galloped 1 1/2 miles at Belmont Park, with Pletcher praising his appearance as "outstanding."

"We'll just basically gallop up to the race," he added.

When asked if Kingoftheroxy would be his only starter in Preakness 132, Pletcher didn't give a categorical answer.

"That's my decision as of this moment," the three-time Eclipse Award winner said.

In response to the inevitable follow-up question, whether that was subject to change, Pletcher said, "Always."

Pletcher would not be drawn into naming his second possible entrant, saying only that the decision would be made on Wednesday.

wonder why he's being so coy about it.

Eh. There's a better chance that he doesn't run anyone and we'll spend three days trying to figure it out.

118? I'm thinking minimum 125. With that breeding...no doubt about it.
