AWhat he has that, over the years, has proven successful is enough tactical speed to put him in position.

AHe was able to find another gear.@ Pletcher continued, AThe way he finished at a mile and a sixteenth you wouldn=t think a mile and an eighth would be an issue. He still has to go out and do it.

AHe=s just fast and he has great stamina to keep going,@ trainer Dale Romans said. AI wouldn=t want to be someone trying to hook him. He can rate, but it=s not a matter of rating. He=s going to go to the lead. We=re not changing anything now.@ The rail-drawn Strike Power was perfect in two prior trips to the post around one turn, headed by a sharp score in the GIII S. in Hallandale Feb. 3. AIt was a natural progression going from seven-eighths to a mile and a sixteenth. I thought he handled it well,@ trainer Mark Hennig said. AThe main thing I didn=t want him to do was to get caught up in a speed duel and I thought he settled well. He settles well when you=re trying to work with him. I don=t know about rating in this spot. We=ll see how he breaks and see what happens.@ (More Than Ready), an impressive winner of last fall=s GII Remsen S. at the Big A while making his first start on dirt, kicked off his sophomore campaign with a runner-up finish in Tampa=s GIII Sam F.

TODD PLETCHER

Todd Pletcher | Sarah Andrew

How do you feel about Audible coming into the race? AI feel good. He had a nice gallop this morning at Palm Beach Downs before shipping to Gulfstream. He was in good spirits, full of energy and settled in well at Gulfstream.

What are your thoughts on his post (eight of nine)? AI would prefer to be a little more inside, but we have no control over post position, so we will make the best of it. Hopefully he breaks alertly and John Velazquez is able to get him into a position where he doesn=t lose too much ground in the first turn.@

How do you think he will handle the distance? AThe way he finished at a mile and a sixteenth, a mile and an eighth shouldn=t be a problem. He was very explosive the last sixteenth of a mile in the Holy Bull and that would give you optimism that he could handle a mile and an eighth.@

How is Always Dreaming doing ahead of this return to the races? AHe has been training very well and enthusiastically. He looks fantastic and has filled out nicely. He looks like a 4-year-old that has made that transition the way you would want one to. It is always concerning when you are bringing a horse back off a layoff and running against some accomplished horses that have NEW YORK RACING ASSOCIATION 2018-19 STARTER LOYALTY PROGRAM

We are excited to get his season under way.@

Do you think he will appreciate this distance coming off a seven-month layoff? AI think it is a good distance to bring him back. I think it will also give us some information that will be useful in what races we point to after tomorrow.@

Has there been any talk about where he would go next? ANo, we really just targeted this and focused on this. We will see how he does in here and we will assess what is next afterwards.@

MARK CASSE

This is a big step up in class for Mississippi. What gave you the confidence to go from an optional claimer to a Grade I? AI think his races so far have been good. If you look two back, obviously he got beat by the Louisiana Derby winner. I think he deserves a shot. I thought I ran him back a little too quick last time, so I gave him some extra time. He=s been doing extremely well. I am not sure where he stacks up with the top horses, but it is time to find out.@

What made you decide to add blinkers this time? A[Jockey] Julien [Leparoux] felt that in his last two races he would lose focus during the race. We have trained him now with blinkers and it seems to get him to focus a little more. We need a little help, a little boost and we hope that gives it to us.@

How do you feel about having the outside post? AI don=t like it. As I said, better to be nine of nine then 10 of nine. We are in. It is the hand that was dealt, so we will use it. There seems to be a fair amount of speed. Hopefully, we can get over somewhere mid-pack and save some ground. I do believe he needs to have a good trip to have a chance.@

Do you think he will like this distance? AI don=t think he will mind it. He is bred to go on. I don=t think it is going to hurt him. If you watch his races, he is usually running on. You just never know. I think it will help him in that it will hurt others.@

BILL MOTT

Bill Mott | Christie DeBernardis

You=re known for your patience with horses and it is not often we see you step a horse up to a Grade I off a maiden win. What made you decide to do that with Hofburg? AIt was maybe a lack of other opportunities and the fact we thought he had run quite well last time. It is really sort of a way to test our medal I guess. He is doing well and came out of the race good. Whatever it may be [in Saturday=s race], we will make our adjustments from here.@

Has he been a horse you have been high on for a while now? ASince he came into the barn, yes. We had him all last summer and we liked him quite a bit all along.@

How do you think he will handle nine furlongs? AI don=t think distance will be an issue. I think that=s what he is looking for. That is what I felt about him all along.@

What will be your instructions to jockey Jose Ortiz Saturday? AI will point out who I think the speed horses are and I will leave the rest up to him.@

GRAYSON-JOCKEY CLUB, KEENELAND AND FASIG- TIPTON FUND VET STUDY The sales radiology study led by Colorado State University's Orthopaedic Research Center veterinarians, Drs. Wayne McIlwraith, Frances Peat and Chris Kawcak, and Dr. Jeff Berk from Lexington, KY., has gained funding from the Grayson- Jockey Club Research Foundation, Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton. This study investigates two of the most often discussed issues at sales: radiographic findings in the proximal sesamoid bones of the fetlock, with associated suspensory branch changes, and radiographic findings in the medial femoral condyle of the stifle. The study commenced at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, involving 2,795 yearlings, and continued through the 2-year-old sales in 2017. The Keeneland Association has committed $100,000 towards the successful completion of this work. Fasig-Tipton has made a $50,000 commitment towards the research. The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has approved a grant application submitted by the researchers for an additional $143,624. The first phase of the study was conducted at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Consignors presenting yearlings at this sale were asked permission to include the yearlings in the radiographic and/or ultrasonographic portions of this study. The second phase of this project followed horses that had radiographs included in the study as Keeneland September yearlings, to five of the major 2-year-old sales in 2017.

CORK MAN THRIVING ON U.S. CIRCUIT WEST BEST IN THE EAST? By Dan Ross There's about 7,000 crow-flown kilometers--and a whole universe of cultural clashes--between the wind-bitten little village of Shanagarry, in County Cork in Southeast Ireland, and New Orleans, down in the steamiest, swampiest depths of Southern Louisiana. But it's the circuitous route trainer Brendan Walsh has taken from childhood home to present residence that would make Phileas Fogg purr loudest with admiration. Nor should we expect a final tally on those airmiles just yet. "I'm in Fair Grounds at the moment," says Walsh, before launching into a travelogue that takes in Turfway Park in Kentucky the following day, then to Florida for a couple days before returning to New Orleans for their season apogee, the Louisiana Derby weekend.

Dubai World Cup cont. Another proven traveler is Godolphin=s French-based 2017 GI Breeders= Cup Turf winner Talismanic (GB) (Medaglia d=Oro). Leaving France for the first time in his racing career when winning at Del Mar last November, Talismanic then headed to Hong Kong, where he ran a bang-up second to Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Hong Kong Vase. Talismanic prepped for this with a win over the Chantilly synthetic over stablemate and G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe runner-up Cloth of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) on Mar. 6, and his unknown factor here is the dirt, which he races on for the first time.
