GOING WILD- Hard to get a very good look at this longshot since he does all his training in the dark. GIACOMO- Another of the California contingent who did not arrive until Wednesday. Does appear to be more focused with the equipment change and is a 3-year-old on the improve at this time which is always dangerous.

Hard to find fault with his final work during which he pulled away late from Illinois Derby runnerup Monarch Lane under moderate pressure.ĭON'T GET MAD- Has had an easy week since winning the Derby Trial last Saturday but hard to get excited about any horse coming into the Kentucky Derby on only one week's rest.įLOWER ALLEY- Has trained with blinkers on during several of his morning gallops and in his final work during which he outfinished Eclipse Award winner Ashado although the latter was obviously not on top of her game that morning. Will have to be more focused if he's to outperform his long odds on Saturday.ĬOIN SILVER- The least regarded of the Pletcher trio has not been asked to do quite as much as stablemates Bandini or Flower Alley over the past 10 days since he's coming up to this race on only two weeks rest. Gives every impression of being the most talented member of this field.īUZZARDS BAY- Didn't get to to see much of the Santa Anita Derby winner who did not ship here until Wednesday.ĬLOSING ARGUMENT- Has looked well since shipping over from Keeneland last weekend but seemed a bit distracted and even tried to drift out a bit during his lone local workout.
His final Derby work was nothing sort of sensational, not so much on the watch but the manner in which he was striding out as he completed the move and then galloped out so strong and so effortlessly around the turn. Would preferred to seehim finish just a bit stronger in his final work on Sunday but hard not to respect off his sensational effort in the Blue Grass.īELLAMY ROAD- A gorgeous individual who excudes class when galloping each morning his head tucked majestically between his legs as he tugs and pulls his exercise rider always trying to do a bit more.
Did finish well in his one work over the track and wouldn't be surprised to see him run late to grab one of the minor awards.īANDINI- Arguably the second best looking member of the field along with Bellamy Road he missed a little training last week but bounced back with several strong gallops while at times acting up on the track just like his daddy Fusaichi Pegasus. Hard to say exactly how he's holding up under all those two a days, he's certainly not the most robust looking member of the field, but he is extremely talented and among the logical contenders in this race.ĪNDROMEDA'S HERO- Barely got a chance to see him since he's been stabled regularly at Keeneland until shipping here Thursday. Training five miles a morning on more than one occasion, he has had some good days and not as good days during his routine jogs and gallops although both his works were rock solid. Although he was just one of several members of the field who left favorable impressions in the final, very chilly 10 mornings leading up to the 2005 Kentucky Derby.ĪFLEET ALEX- This year's media darling has had a rigorous week but by and large has held up quite well under the strain. This year's "looker" is Bellamy Road who gives every appearance of being a worthy favorite on Saturday. He then validated that opinion by not only capturing the main event but nearly sweeping the Triple Crown. A year ago, Smarty Jones looked and trained the best of all the Kentucky Derby contenders stabled at Churchill Downs coming into the race. Thu., May 5: Kentucky Derby clocker report summary
