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.
