Tampa Bay Derby (G3) winner BIG TRUCK (Hook and Ladder) breezed four furlongs in :48 4/5 on Keeneland's Polytrack on Tuesday in preparation for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby (G1) on May 3 at Churchill Downs. Trainer Barclay Tagg described the move as a "maintenance work." It ranked eighth out of 43 works at the distance.

"He went a little faster that I wanted, but it's fine," Tagg said. "I generally like their maintenance works to be around :49, but it's no problem."

Why is he using Keeneland to prep for the New York Derby?

While Kee was really tight and super fast last couple of weeks for the 2-year old sale and race meet, now it's starting to loosen up and slow up noticably (by a second or so) and Kee is leaving it be for the last 3 days. That's a pretty good work for the state of the track right now (meaning, "in reality", with My Varient, it's really probably easily under :48)
