Stately Victor, Dean's Kitten Work

With the experience of the Kentucky Derby (G1) now two weeks in the rear-view mirror, the pair of "Run for the Roses" participants trained by Mike Maker -- STATELY VICTOR (Ghostzapper) and DEAN'S KITTEN (Kitten's Joy) -- returned to serious training on Saturday at Churchill Downs' Trackside Louisville training center.

Stately Victor, who finished eighth behind Super Saver (Maria's Mon) on Derby Day, breezed five furlongs in 1:00 1/5 over the fast six-furlong oval under exercise rider Derrick Smith. Dean's Kitten, who checked in 14th in the 20-horse Derby field, logged a half-mile under Marvin Jiminez in :49 2/5.
