Vino Rosso and Enticed, who had their first meeting in a rough and tumble stretch run Saturday in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial, were face to face again Tuesday on their way to begin training for the 2018 Kentucky Derby.

Enticed's trainer, Kiaran McLaughlin, shared a photo of the chestnut Vino Rosso and the dark Brown Enticed loaded up for travel to Florida. McLaughlin's horses winter at Palm Meadows training center, while Todd Pletcher, who trains Vino Rosso, works his horses at Palm Beach Downs.

Credit to whomever runs the Twitter account posing as Vino Rosso for likening the trip to that of Saturday at Aqueduct, where stewards left the colt up as the Wood Memorial winner despite a number of bumps in the lane.
