Lookin At Lucky, Conveyance Work at Churchill
By Blood-Horse Staff
Lookin At Lucky and Conveyance, two contenders for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) trained by Bob Baffert, worked at Churchill Downs April 15.
Lookin At Lucky was first out of the barn and was the first horse to hit the track following the mid-session break for track maintenance. He breezed an easy five furlongs under exercise rider Dana Barnes in 1:01.20. Barnes was also aboard Conveyance as the Southwest (gr. III) winner and Sunland Derby (gr. III) runner-up went five furlongs in 1:00.60.
Lookin At Lucky -- Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman’s reigning 2-year-old champion and Rebel Stakes (gr. II) winner – covered the distance in fractional times of :12.60, :25.20, :37.40 and :49.6 over a fast track. He galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.60.
Zabeel Racing International’s Conveyance turned in fractional times of :13.60, :37.40 and :49 in his five-furlong move and galloped out six furlongs in 1:13.60.
"I just wanted to get over the track and see where they stand – just get a little easy five-eighths into both of them," Baffert said in a statement from Churchill Downs. "It seemed like they went over it nice."
