As mentioned above, I responded but must not have posted it last night..

Danzig Moon has bounced out of the work very nicely and has had 2 excellent gallops Monday and Tuesday. He was rank early in that work and Tepin is a very nice filly that the Casse camp expects to be tough in the Distaff Mile next Friday.

There has been a modest amount to consider so far really, but Birdatthewire particularly (and male counterpart Keen Ice as well) have looked very good for Romans.

American Pharoah has been out for controlled, focused exercise each morning. There had been some question as to whether he had tucked up after the AR Derby, but having seen him last in the flesh at Santa Anita 5 weeks ago, I'd say he's at least maintained himself. Will see him up close over the weekend.

Thanks. I realize Tepin is a sprinter/miler, but she was really impressive and Danzig Moon never did get by her. I don't really expect him to go any faster than 58, so no big deal I suppose.

Great insights from Welsch this morning on your show. Just watching the videos does not begin to tell half the story without having a frame of reference from someone who has been watching them on a regular basis.

Very interesting. Care to share your general thoughts of the Derby horses you watched?

If looking for way to beat American Pharoah, it's not from final work. Went as good as a horse can in official 58.2 that was done galloping.

Splits: 11.2, 23.0 (11.3), 34.3 (11.3), 46.2 (11.4), 58.2 (12.0), out 1:11.2 (13.0), up 1:27.0.

OAKS MOVES

Larry Jones fillies went ahead of American Pharoah with I'm a Chatterbox solid in 1:01 maintenance effort, tiring a tad finishing up. Lovely Mariah better of the pair in sharp 59.3 with little ask..

After an aborted work attempt Saturday that generated concerns, Puca had a very nice spin moving up inside a workmate. Time for the half was 48.1 but she did more finishing out around the turn..
