Kentucky Derby
contender
workouts for today (Tuesday, March 15)
(with HRN Derby rankings):
Today's Derby contender works included
a five furlong bullet from Machen. The Neil Howard charge has now worked three
times since a disappointing 4th place finish in the Risen Star. He
goes next in the March 26 Louisiana Derby. Archarcharch
drilled a four furlong bullet in advance of the March 19 Rebel Stakes.
#23 Archarcharch – 4f bullet
in :47.60 (1/31) at Oaklawn
Park.
#31 Mr. Commons – 5f bullet
in :59.20 (1/27) at Hollywood
Park.
#37 Machen – Bullet 5f move
in :59.60 (1/23) at Fair Grounds.
#40 Astrology – 7f in 1:25.20
(2/2) at Santa Anita Park.

Derby hero Watch Me Go has been nominated to the Kentucky Derby.
