Tell Joe I'm feeling sore and stiff after a tough workout at the gym lastnight.

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

So is everyone now under the impression of slop on Sat?


If so who should we be looking at?

Default Backtalk
So if Interactif doesn't go than Backtalk is in and I presume he will go. I just read that Tom was happy with his work at Keeneland and they consider the last race a toss due to the crazy work they had before it.

Does anyone have an opinion?

Vultures waiting for other shoe to drop on Endorsement and Interactif...

After that, Dublin seems to be nursing things along, and Sadler was justifiably unhappy with Line of David's effort, but pinned it on the track. Whether the Arkansas Derby winner's work was enough to have Sadler pass with him is another story. The Thrashes would be about Sadler's only client left out of the weekend festivities if Line of David were to demure.

NOBLE'S PROMISE (:48.4) worked with Fist of Rage (:49.0) with an :24.3 opening and out 5F 1:02.2 with a spirited gallop out. Derby is the wrong race for him, but he certainly looks in very good form moving towards Saturday as least...

AMERICAN LION turned in a what felt like a slightly disappointing drill getting 5f in 1:02.3. With the WinStar team of Harty, Cauthen and Casner watching from the Media Center balcony, the Illinois Derby winner cut out fractions of :12.3, :25.2, :37.3, 1:02.3 and a 6f gallopout of 1:16.2 while being ridden a bit.

LINE OF DAVID labored over the heavy surface in his 6f effort, which went in 1:15.0. He was urged early and often and felt the whip from the quarter pole. Splits were :11.4, :23.3, :35.3, :48.1 and 1:01.1.

INTERACTIF went a half in :47.3 starting a length behind a workmate and finishing a length in front at the wire. He opened the quarter in :23.4 and galloped out in 1:01.4. It didn't look like the 'wow' work Todd Pletcher said the Wertheimer and Frere homebred would need to go postward Saturday.

I agree...not far enough for him. He should be dead-fit for the Epsom after this prep though.

I know its very subjective and there are alot of more knowledgable horsemen than myself, but in my opinion the horse with the "look" so far is Awesome Act. I think he has looked very, very good in the mornings.

I heard something about Dublin doing his best impression of a pinball machine, but I watched the April 25th work on DRF and didn't see it. Maybe I just need to have my vision checked. Did he really bolt twice and bounce off the outside rail?

He supposedly did that in a gallop on Saturday. In his workout early Sunday morning he appeared to be trying to get out going around the turn but then leveled off nicely in the stretch and finished up well. He was under little to no encouragement late.
