Two of the leading candidates for this year's Kentucky Derby turned in sharp works on Sunday in preparation for the coming weekend's prep races.
At Santa Anita, Futurity and Robert Lewis winner Pioneerof The Nile (Empire Maker-Star of Goshen, by Lord At War) drilled five furlongs in :58 4/5, the fastest of 85 works at the distance. This guy was really flattered by I Want Revenge's win in the Gotham, and he's defeated that one in their last two meetings. He's expected to start in the March 14 San Felipe.
Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song-Collect Call, by Meadowlake) also worked five furlongs at Oaklawn, going in :59 flat for the fastest of 18 at the distance. The Remsen and Southwest winner is expected to run in Saturday's Rebel.
