Back to the early portion of the morning, WILBURN was out jogging and is absolutely beautiful; AIKENITE worked with 3yo filly SHARED HEART who was recently 3rd in Miss Valentine's Mom's Command, and was out-performed by her; Fawkes' pair of BIG DRAMA and APRIORITY made appearances and it just feels like the defending Sprint winner is up against it. He certainly doesn't look the same as he did a year ago; I missed TAKE CHARGE INDY completely unfortunately, and I'm anxious to get a look at him in the flesh..

Turf works just wrapped with CAMBINA, COALPORT, COUNTRY DAY, GRAND ADVENTURE, HOLIDAY FOR KITTEN and the TAP tandem of SIDNEY'S CANDY & FINALE all getting in jaunts... Turf course has firmed up a fair amount over the last 24 hours with much less sloshing and fewer clods being thrown.

The most notable try of the grass gropes came from Juvy Turf candidate Finale who is a handsome, compact colt that stayed with his veteran stablemate every step of the work and even stayed on far through the gallop out to get his head in front. I didn't have any special feeling for Finale when I arrived here, but he has made a very positive impression and looks to give Pletcher a very good shot at a repeat in the event a year after Pluck's rally..

I like Wilburn a lot. Especially against that field. Good to know he looks great.

Twitter is great for following the Breeders Cup works. The Grade One Racing team (Bruno De Julio and Mary Jo Rosen) Racehorsereport (Jude Feld), Mr Byk, DRF, even Steve Haskin had a tweet about Game On Dude's work.
