Today's Kentucky Derby Contender Works (3-7-11)
workouts for today (Monday, March 7)
(with HRN Derby rankings):
Today's Derby contender works included a four furlong breeze from To Honor And Serve. The Nashua and Remsen hero weakened to finish a disappointing 3rd in his Fountain of Youth return. Willcox Inn breezed six furlongs in advance of the rescheduled Grindstone and Runflatout uncorked a bullet before his upcoming engagement in the San Felipe.
#7 To Honor And Serve – Easy 4f breeze in :51 (11/20) at Payson Park.
#27 Willcox Inn – 6f in 1:14.60 (2/4) at Fair Grounds.
