worked a half-mile together in :47.60 after the morning<br />
renovation break over a fast track at Churchill Downs.<br />

a length in front of Bayern, who was ridden by Rosie<br />
Napravnik. Fractions for the work were :12, :23.80 and :35.60<br />
with a five-furlong gallop out time of 1:01 for Chitu while<br />
Bayern went out in 1:00.20 and six furlongs in 1:13.40.<br />
Jim Barnes, assistant to trainer Bob Baffert, said the works<br />
went well and that Baffert would arrive in Louisville on<br />
Wednesday. Slated to arrive at Churchill Downs Monday afternoon<br />

the renovation break under exercise rider Bryan Beccia for<br />
trainer Billy Gowan.<br />

Sunday depending on weather according to Gowan. Threetime<br />
Kentucky Derby-winning rider Calvin Borel has the<br />
mount for Derby 140.<br />
TAPITURE (No. 13) – Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC’s<br />
Tapiture, winner of the Southwest (GIII) and fourth in the<br />
recent Arkansas Derby (GI), hit the fast Churchill Downs<br />
track early to work five furlongs in 1:02.80.<br />
The Steve Asmussen-trained son of Tapit, winner of<br />
the Kentucky Jockey Club (GII) over the Louisville surface<br />
last fall, was ridden by Abel Flores and was recorded by<br />
Churchill Downs’ clockers in fractional splits of :13.40, :25.80<br />
and :38. He galloped out six furlongs in 1:16.40. The work<br />
w as Tapiture’s first significant training move since the<br />
Arkansas Derby at Oakla wn Park on April 12. He was on the<br />
track with Asmussen’s second set of workers at<br />
approximately “I loved 6 a.m. how (EDT). relaxed he was, pre-breeze and stuff,”<br />
Asmussen said. “He went around there nice and smooth. I<br />
think that it’s a very big deal for both him and (Winchell’s<br />
Kentucky Oaks contender) Untapable to have all the time that<br />
they’ve spent here at Churchill previously – just to settle back<br />
in and get With into the a routine.” Arkansas Derby run behind Tapiture – a<br />
race in which he was favored and finished 7 ¼ lengths<br />
behind the victorious Danza – Asmussen is hoping for a step<br />
forward in the Kentucky Derby.<br />

we identify that and hopefully he’ll bounce back and run a<br />
huge race here. I think it (the Kentucky Derby Presented by<br />
Yum! Brands) is a tremendously competitive race, with<br />
California Chrome possibly standing out from a ‘numbers’<br />
standpoint. But he’s got to do that here. We’ve got nothing<br />
but respect for him, but I think everybod y else is kind of in<br />
the Tapiture same boat.” will be ridden in the Kentucky Derby by Ricardo<br />
