XBTV KENTUCKY DERBY<br />
WORKOUT ANALYSIS<br />
By Zoe Cadman, Millie Ball & Michelle Yu<br />
The <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Derby</strong> is such a unique race, and yet the formula for eyeing the winner based on morning workouts remains the<br />
same, according to XBTV analyst Millie Ball: Good energy + fluid stride + focused demeanor.<br />
HORSE DATE TRACK DISTANCE TIME<br />
ESSENTIAL QUALITY 4/17 CD 5F :59.60 (4/40)<br />
ZOE CADMAN: Undefeated son of Tapit has certainly been on a good run of late. His race at<br />
Keeneland was a measured one while not taking too much out of him just four weeks before the<br />
<strong>Derby</strong>. He does own a win over the CD strip, which is key, but ... I have to say I thought his first work<br />
after the Blue Grass, while not bad, was not the best we have seen from him. Tracking the 2-for-8<br />
gelding Spa City (most recently last in an allowance race at Oaklawn), he looked primed to run right<br />
by him at the wire, but really never got by him even in the gallop-out. I would have liked to have seen<br />
more in the penultimate work for a champion with only two starts under his belt this year.<br />
ROCK YOUR WORLD 4/17 SA 5 F 59.60 (6/72)<br />
MICHELLE YU: Rock Your World worked outside of <strong>com</strong>pany April 17 as is his normal routine. He<br />
was always in the bridle and much the best. This was improvement this week for a horse who<br />
sometimes needs a real sousing to find his best stride in the mornings.<br />
KNOWN AGENDA 4/16 CD 5F 1:00.40 (9/36)<br />
SAINTHOOD 4/16 CD 5F 1:00.40 (9/36)<br />
MILLIE BALL: Todd Pletcher appears to be replicating the training schedule he used for 2017<br />
Florida <strong>Derby</strong> and <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Derby</strong> winner Always Dreaming for his most recent Florida <strong>Derby</strong><br />
winner Known Agenda. He and Jeff Ruby runner-up Sainthood both returned to the track to<br />
publish a work 13 days after their final prep and were then given a stiff 5-furlong drill together<br />
seven days later on April 16. If Pletcher continues to mirror Always Dreaming’s timetable, expect<br />
a 5F work from both contenders April 23, which will be eight days prior to the race. One change<br />
Todd has made this year is choosing to ship his runners to Churchill Downs a week earlier than<br />
normal to post their penultimate works. He said he paired up Known Agenda up with Sainthood,<br />
“because of the spacing of their last race.” Known Agenda appeared to travel smoother of the<br />
two colts, never blobbing once. Both finished on even terms although jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. did tap<br />
Known Agenda on the neck a couple of times to keep him on task. Interestingly, the published<br />
time 1:00.40 was a 5-furlong personal best for both sophomores since arriving in training.<br />
Evidently they are continuing to progress. My preference is Known Agenda. I mentioned prior<br />
to the Florida <strong>Derby</strong> that stamina is his strength. He has an extremely efficient way of moving,<br />
coupled with a pedigree for distance, and the blinkers have made him more tactical,<br />
all ingredients for <strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Derby</strong> success.<br />
HOT ROD CHARLIE 4/17 SA 6F 1:14.20 (5/6)<br />
ZOE CADMAN: The son of Oxbow may be flying under the radar, even after winning the Louisiana<br />
<strong>Derby</strong>. Losing his jock Joel Rosario won’t help, but will add to his price. Working in <strong>com</strong>pany with<br />
4-year-old claimer Itsthattime (recently second for $20k), he tracked him all the way to the<br />
eighth-pole under Flavien Prat and cruised by him to gallop out a good mile. Nothing flashy, but<br />
his long, easy stride should not be a problem at Churchill Downs. Good work for a colt <strong>com</strong>ing<br />
right at just the right time.<br />
