The one proviso is that the track was pretty funky out there. You could noticeably hear the slogging/thudding sound horses have getting over a dead, heavy surface. But the reality is that Lucky and Noble's were fine getting over it, so you just have to draw your own conclusions... The videos should be out soon I'd imagine.

ICE BOX was chipper and alternately galloped, jogged, hobby-horsed around once at the end of the Derby/Oaks session.. And yeah, I was trying to give American Lion the benefit of the doubt on the track too, but watch it later and see what you think...

Was on the backstretch... I didn't get to see it. Clockers I spoke with didn't like the way he went.

Speaking of clocking... Mike Welsch, Gary Young and Joe Petruccione among the stopwatch patrol you will hear from on 'At the Races' this week...

Has Joe Petruccione shared his observations of who he likes at this point?
