This is good news for me. I thought he was cooked. I thought I had three hopeless picks in Jaycito, Stay Thirsty and Silver Medallion. But after looking at the rest of the field, who knows on that particular day.

If Jaycito gets to the Lex, he should be a go for Churchill. I see him as the best 10f prospect but I don't like it when a horse has any "blips" along the path. Of course, this year, who knows? It's a complete mess and the distinct lack of starts for most of the more legit horses makes it worse.

There will be injuries and defections. In previous years how far down the list did they usually go?

Kasept 04-19-2011 02:23 PM

Jaycito still hasn't worked and now appears highly doubtful for Lexington..

There goes my Derby colt... Jaycito seems unlike to go this weekend.

Rootdog1 04-19-2011 03:03 PM

I said a month or so ago he has not been right in a while.....

Then Baffert's an irresponsible ass.

The Derby Draw will be on May 4th from 5-6 pm ET on VERSUS (or whatever NBC calls it by then). The pill-pull will be conducted live during that hour.

Vs. will have the entire undercard starting at 11am....minus of course the Woodford Reserve which gets no TV coverage every year.

Soldat's Kentucky Derby work encourages McLaughlin
By Mike Welsch

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Fountain of Youth winner Soldat gave every indication he’s bounced out of his disappointing performance in the Grade 1 Florida Derby in good order after zipping five furlongs in 59.07 seconds under absolutely perfect conditions early Thursday morning at Palm Meadows.

Breaking off at the half-mile pole, Soldat went his opening quarter-mile in 24.01. He changed leads perfectly while hugging the rail into the stretch then accelerated down the lane, covering his next quarter in 23.27 to hit the finish line in 47.28 while under just slight encouragement nearing the wire . Soldat then continued on very strongly around the turn to the mile pole in what was little more than a gallop-out before pulling up six furlongs in 1:12.76 and seven-eighths in 1:27.82.

Did he get any dirt thrown back at his face during this work? Because he sure didn't fire being behind horses.
