OUTWORK SHINES AT CHURCHILL NYQUIST >EXCEEDS Mike Repole=s Outwork (Uncle Mo), recent winner of the EXPECTATIONS= IN GI Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct Apr. 9, turned in arguably the work of the day during an extremely busy Kentucky Derby/ FINAL DERBY BREEZE Kentucky Oaks training session Friday morning at Churchill Downs. Breezing in the company of his graded-stakes winning barn companion Azar (Scat Daddy), the homebred son of Grade I-placed Nonna Mia (Empire Maker) went five furlongs in a strong 1:01.20 (video). Restrained alongside Azar after breaking off midway on the backstretch, Outwork went in fractions of :13.20 and turned for home after three-eighths in :37.40. Still under a hard hold, he began to get away from his workmate and covered his final quarter in a strong :23.80 before pulling up six furlongs in 1:14. Cont. p4

Nyquist left his pony, ridden by assistant trainer Jack Sisterson at the sixteenth pole and the duo broke off, with Ralis to his inside and about a length in front as they crossed under the wire. With Mario Gutierrez hard against the colt, Nyquist went the opening quarter-mile in :27 and led briefly on the backstretch before Ralis poked his head in front again. The pace increased notably in the middle of the work, with a pair of :24-second splits, and Nyquist was asked to overtake his company approaching the three-eighths marker. He switched his lead on cue and wanted to have a look at the stands for a stride or two. As his ears went up, he jumped back onto his incorrect lead just before the wire while clocking a come-home time of :26 flat.

The stakes were somewhat lower Friday, but the result the same in the Bewitch S. at Keeneland, as Olorda posted a gutsy, albeit tougher-than-it-looked victory in the closing-day feature. The Schwartz-owned Angara (GB) (Alzao) won the 2005 Bewitch en route to a Beverly D. success of her own that August. Trained in Germany by Michael Figge, Olorda showed enough promise to take her show on the road and belied odds of 15-1 to take a soft-turf renewal of the G3 Prix Vanteaux at Longchamp last May. Third in the G1 Prix Saint-Alary in her first run for Schwartz three weeks later, the bay was never a factor in the GI Belmont Oaks July 14, finishing 11th to future stablemate Lady Eli (Divine Olorda | Coady photography Park).

The 6-year-old gelding, the winner of four Group 1 races between December of 2014 and last May, was found to have suffered the injury after finishing third when attempting to defend his title in last year=s G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile. AAs far as the rehab is going, he has made quite a recovery,@ Moore told Racing.com. A[The vet team in Melbourne] got his feet in great shape, the MRI out of Ballarat Equine Centre is showing no inflammation anymore [and] the lesion looks as though it is healing up really well. I hope to have him back in work at the end of June, preferably at Werribee; hopefully Racing Victoria will allow me to, as it means that we don=t have to do the two weeks= quarantine prior to coming back to Hong Kong.@ cont. p12

Not since El Gran Senor in 1984 has a colt with such dominant dirt breeding triumphed in this race, but if there is one special case to buck a trend, Air Force Blue could be it.

AHe=s a horse who loves his work, enjoys his work and wants to please all the time. He=s a very easy horse to train and I suppose the problem we have with him is over-training him.
