Other April 12 Works:
Monzon (#23) breezed an easy 4f
in :51.40 (2/2) over the all-weather surface at Sagamore Farm. Prime Cut (#48)
traveled 5f in 1:00.20 (5/9) at Keeneland. J W Blue (#66) went 4f in :47.80
(2/8) at Oaklawn Park in advance of the Arkansas Derby.
Notes:
The Factor has arrived at Oaklawn Park for Saturday’s Arkansas Derby.
Astrology will likely point to the Preakness Stakes with a prep in the Jerome
or Derby Trial. Friday’s six furlong Bachelor Stakes at Oaklawn Park
has attracted a field of ten including Road Ready, Grant Jack, and City Cool.
