Denis sparkles in drill under Borel
 
Denis of Cork just posted what will likely be the day's most talked about work at the Downs ripping 5f in 1:00.0 and galloping out the final quarter in a shade over :22.0.
Under Calvin Borel, the David Carroll trainee went easily for a half mile (48.0) without urging before being asked for the sharp finish. Borel had difficulty pulling the colt up.

Thanks for this. The final works at Churchill have become a crucial part of my Derby handicapping.

Did you see it, Steve?

Yes. Was at the barn before and after and on the frontside for the spin. Silly me thought that many would be interested in hearing about it firsthand minutes after it was completed... But yet another DTer with a bizarre hard-on for a trainer seems to indicate there isn't interest and I needn't bother to report anything from here.

Wrote that wrong.. Final quarter on the gallop out. There may be a fraction on that too. I didn't hear the clocker clearly except for the '22' part.

Steve,
Any other (possible) derby horses working /on the grounds @ C.D. ?
Thanks for the report.

You need to report this stuff here, at least the smart players will be recognizing the information as noteworthy....

Scav 04-21-2008 08:54 AM

Steve, real quick, and let me start this comment with I know little about works, except for the ones I used to see on TVG when they have The Works

Was Borel really after him in the stretch, like with the whip or did he just shove him / show him the whip and he took off?

Whip was in his back pocket.
I was at the finish line and only heard Calvin smooching at him.

maybe I'm wrong but I think he wasn't knocking the workout report but the chances of DENIS OF CORK.

I really don't care if it is. I'll call anyone who wagers on this horse derby day an idiot.

I was also getting under Steve's skin over his man crush of Carroll.

I'll admit that I am including him in my tri and exactas.

I am keying Colonel John in all three spots with 9 other horses, total cost of $216. Right now my five horses for the $10 exacta box I play are.

Colonel John
Denis of Cork
Pyro
Z Fortune
Have no idea on the fifth

TheSpyder 04-21-2008 10:22 AM

Really like your 5th choice..that's mine right now too.

Steve, love the works info and as someone else said, key to Derby pick.
