It’s a great sign, he’s ready. All the heavy lifting is over. We just have to keep him happy and fresh until next weekend. This is what we were looking for this morning. He galloped out nice and relaxed and went fast, even though he was relaxed, and came back like he had never done anything.” The Louisville native has had several Kentucky Derby runners, but no winners. His best finish was a third in 2010 with Paddy O’Prado (El Prado {Ire}) and in 2012 with Dullahan (Even the Score). “I’ve had a lot of good horses going into the Derby and they proved to be good horses even after the Derby, but no one has come into the race that really didn’t have any question marks,” Romans said. “We know that he likes the racetrack, we know he can get the distance, we know he’s been in big fields and we know he’s fit and doing well.
