Before I said too much, I just wanted to make sure my horse came out of the Keeneland race okay and everything was in good order. Now that we’re back on the track and seeing him train, gosh, if anything it Tommy Drury/COADY PHOTO seems like he’s better. The timing of it is going to be good leading up to the Derby. That’s the ultimate goal, and we’re going to try to take our best shot.” Drury is using the Ellis Park Derby for conditioning purposes, with hot weather expected to impact how he trains Art Collector in the mornings. The goal is to win the Ellis Park Derby but not to “gut” the horse in the process. “The good news is that it’s not a have-to-win situation,” he said. “If at any point Brian feels like we’re not getting the trip or things aren’t going the way we need it to go, we don’t have to abuse him to win the race. We just want to get the race under our belt. This isn’t the long-term goal. This is just a steppingstone to get us there. “If this was the fall of the year and we were having nice cool days, that puts a whole different spin on it. But being the time of year it is, taking the weather into consideration, I think we’re better off to go down and run the race one day. On the day-to-day type stuff, that’s going to allow us to keep him in the same routine he’s been in thus far.” Lunsford and Drury are lifelong Louisvillians, while Hernandez has lived in the Henderson area since he began riding full-time in 2004. Lunsford also has a lot of close friends in western Kentucky. “Bruce [Lunsford] is thrilled,” Drury said of running in the Ellis Park Derby. “He’s a Kentucky guy and he wants to support Kentucky racing. He thought it was a great idea. Ellis Park has gone above and beyond to help the horsemen and to have their meet. Hopefully having a horse like Art Collector in their big race helps them a little bit. Hopefully it’s good for all of us.” FTBOA Document and Form Drop Box
