Default DOWNS DAWN PATROL (4/23): Paddy O (:58.2) wows.. Ice Box (:46.2) sharp

Rain started light early this morning but became more steady through the first half of training hours. Ice Box and Paddy O' Prado appear likely to go ahead and work after the break, but Pletcher looks to only send his Oaks gals for their slated spins. Boys will wait to work, and may not go until Sunday with the forecast for Saturday dreadful...

Will be totally shocked if anyone works Saturday. I thought about canceling my trip for opening day (for about 2.5 seconds).

"Dreadful" is the perfect word for the forecast, Steve. Looks like it's gonna rough for the majority of the weekend.

I've tossed Paddy O'Prado long ago for a variety of reasons - why does he keep impressing in the a.m.? Still seems to have a bit of a turfy action to my very untrained eye.

PADDY O'PRADO with absolutely stunning 'work of the day' going :35.0, :46.2, :58.2 and out in 1:11.2 and 1:25.3... Wasn't asked and kept going all the way around on the gallop out... Anyone on him before should be giddy now.

Nick Zito wanted a quick move from ICE BOX and got it with a sharp half mile plus in :46.2 and :59.3... Looked good...

If we go back to Saratoga as a 2yo and recall ATR conversations about Paddy with Romans, he always felt he'd be fine on dirt based on all he was seeing in the mornings. He is a big threat next Saturday as long as that goofy jock doesn't get cute or stupid.

With all the workers it was tough to watch gallops but Eskendereya again turned it up a notch with a little more than yesterday which was more than Wednesday. Still under a hammerlock.

Don't have all the splits, but there was Oaks action aplenty too as Bret Calhoun's JODY SLEW (:48.2/1:01.1) and Dale Romans' QUIET TEMPER (1:03.0) worked, while Todd Pletcher sent AILALEA and Colizeo out in tandem with Ailalea getting the better of her stablemate in a shade over 1:00.0...

Jody Slew's effort was the notable best of the 4 as she really picked it up late and past the wire...

Welsch said that Colizeo and Ailalea worked together.
