Jackson Bend in Fast Workout at Churchill
By Blood-Horse Staff Jackson Bend, runner-up to Kentucky Derby favorite Eskendereya in both the Fountain of Youth (gr. II) and Wood Memorial (gr. I) stakes, displayed a fondness for Churchill Downs as the Nick Zito trainee worked a fast four furlongs April 15 in :47.40. He is owned by Jacks or Better Farm and Robert LaPenta. The work over fast footing under exercise rider Carlos Correa ranked third among 30 at the distance. The son of Hear No Evil --Sexy Stockings, by Tabasco Cat, worked in company with stablemate Thomas Got Even and covered the half-mile in fractions of :11.60, :23.60,:35.40 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:01.20. Thomas Got Even covered the distance in an identical time. "I love it," said Zito of the move, the first by Jackson Bend since his arrival at Churchill Downs, in a statement released from Churchill Downs. "If he could actually do that next week, maybe Thursday or Friday, I’d be happy. Obviously he’s not a big horse and, more importantly, he’s just as good as can be and we’re happy about all that." Jackson Bend has never run worse than second in nine career races, including five victories. He has earned $707,820.
