Derby workers after the break this a.m. STRONGHOLD in co. 5F 35.71 59.78 going easily out 1:13.56. CATALYTIC in co. going easily 24.37 48.12 out 1:00.87. RESILIENCE solo 4F 25.02 49.16 cruising, out 1:01.68 up 3/4 1:14.94. Also JUST FYI for Oaks 4f 24.90 49.36 out 1:02.40.
Pair of Derby workers out early this a m. Track Phantom 5F from 1/2 in co. 47.21 100.08 out 113.74. Just Steel 4F 25.79 50.43 in maintenance mode eased up on gallop out.
Those who played conservative then spread in the finale of Rainbow 6 sequence rewarded with a $2,354 payoff for a $.20 wager after the 14-1 Kid Cairo gives jockey Edgard Zayas his 4th win on the card in GP 11th, this one for trainer Mark Casse.
Another huge effort from rejuvenated 8-year-old Xy Speed(5-2) who seemed to be left with too much to do turning for home before finishing full of run out in center of course to win co-featured 10th at GPark, Edwin Gonzalez up for trainer Michael Lerman.
Beth's Dream(4-5) stays perfect in '24, dominates her six rivals to capture the first of 2 overnight handicaps at Gulfstream Park today as the 121 pound highweight, Paco Lopez up for trainer Victor Barboza Jr.
After the early Pick-5 returned $122K, the Rainbow 6 mandatory sequence has been pretty form full through opening 3 events at Gulfstream Par, with 8-5 Just a Photo, 1-5 Fly the W and now 7-2 Stat starting things off after another $2.8 million was added to the modest carryover.
Catching up on Derby works after the break. Just a Touch 5F from 4 1/2 with Geroux up 1:00.62 out 1:13.77. Sierra Leone and Domestic Product 5F 1:00.31 out 1:13.35 SL slightly best inside but DP more than held own. Dornoch/Society Man in co. 47.03 asked out 59.58 up 1:12.57.
Guessing the decision as to whether to enter Encino later today in the Derby became an easy one after his work this a m in company with Catching Freedom, 5/8 from 4 1/2 36.03 59.64 out 112.31 up 126.78 looked loaded throughout, called him best of very strong team with Geroux up.
Other Oaks workers this a.m. included Thorpedo Anna 5F 35.57 59.39 out 1:12.79. Into Champagne 4F 24.18 47.33 going easily out 1:00.90. Derby also-eligible Seize the Grey 24.15 47.58, switched to left lead near wire, out 59.87. Full details later at drf.com.
Catching up on Derby/Oaks activity after break. Fierceness terrific once again 4F 25.03 48.63 with monster gallop out like last week at PBD up 3/4's 1:12.50. Also another huge one from potential Oaks favorite Ways and Means 4F 24.69 46.18 out 58.90 up 3/4's 1:11.89.
Aside from Endlessly's work, five other Derby horses trained pre-dawn including the Brad Cox trio of Catching Freedom, Just a Touch and Encino. They were joined under the lights by Track Phantom & Society Man, a bit of a surprise as he's been galloping at 9 the last several days.
Endlessly also wasted little time getting to work today, broke off while Cox fillies were still running, was much improved this week 4F 47.69 breaking 1L behind Gottaneedforspeed, held about 1/2L edge at wire, was clear while widest into turn going out 5/8 1:00.58 up 1:13.98.
Catching up on earlier Derby/Oaks action. Tarifa/Gin Gin worked minutes after track opened. Went 5/8 from 4 1/2. Tarifa began 2L back, finished even, 59.22 and 59.62 respectively, Tarifa out 3/4 1:11.54 Gin Gin 111.94.
Other Oaks workers this a.m. at CD included Candied, Saez up, in company with Scalable 24.34 47.81 galloped out very willingly in 1:00.49 up 1:13.07 for 3/4's. Also Tapit Jenallie a solo 1/2 25.03 49.57 out 1:02.92 up 1:16.64.
Leslie's Rose looking good exiting her easy win in the Ashland in final tune-up for the Oaks, a very easy, solo half 25.75 49.75 punctuated by a strong gallop out, 5F 1:02.03 up 3/4's in 1:14.18 with Irad Ortiz aboard.
Honor Marie the lone Derby worker this a.m. at CD 5F 35.15 59.32 pulled 4 lengths clear of SP 3yo work mate Agoo under urging to finish, galloped out 3/4's 1:12.78 up 7F 1:27.89.
Forever Young 6F 14.84 28.88 42.66 55.91 119.68 barely out of an open gallop for a half then set down, asked for best on rail final 1/4 in 23.77 with a Dale Romans worker as a target from the outset.
From Gulfstream Park clockers Ky. Oaks bound Power Squeeze best in company with older G2 winner Olivia Darling in the dark immediately after track opened 4F 25.60 49 out 102 up a mile a half dozen clear in 142.20.
Routine a.m. at Churchill for Derby/Oaks with first Fierceness sighting the highlight. At Gulfstream Park Grand Mo the First cruised 3/4's under Jaramillo, 25.84 51.13 1:16.48 up a mile 1:44 over dull track. Fiona's Magic last 5/8 37.47 1:01.59 set down final 1/16th for Oaks.

A wonderful piece of news today as @jayprivman is announced as a recipient of a Special Eclipse Award joining legendary long time colleagues Steve Crist and Andy Beyer who were recognized similarly previously.. Jay's work defined 'Career Excellence' and service to the sport..
Great to have @RealBackstretch with us all Summer doing terrific work…..and appreciate @joedrape recognizing it as well….. nytimes.com/2022/09/09/spo…
Bittersweet news as our @DRFPrivman is retiring. Obviously an immense loss to racing but so pleased Jay gets to go on his terms and pursue any dreams left unfinished. Thank you for your years of service to the sport and to #DRF
This is a design problem, not a driver problem, and considering that a vehicular terror attack that killed 8 people in New York City started this way, it is shocking that there are @NYC_DOT @MTA segregated biking and walking paths where this is still possible.

The press box was the place that time forgot. With wood paneling possibly older than I am, I felt like you were stepping back time when I crossed the catwalk. Really lucky I got to share that corner of the universe with the best people.
Luckily the great @jmpaquette took a lot of those memories home with her for safe keeping!
Sad to hear the news of the fire at @SuffolkDowns which looked to be in the area of the press box and TV Control room just below the announcer’s booth from what I could see in photos. Glad no one was up there and everyone is safe, but I’m sure there are lots of lost memories.
Lynn Whiting, a tremendously successful trainer and a very good man, won 1,279 races, including the Kentucky Derby with Lil E. Tee. I remember him most for his quiet style, genuine smile, great horsemanship, and his seemingly countless friends. @ChurchillDowns @OaklawnRacing
Musings from a dark day — whenever u think u might be getting pretty good at that turf-writing thing u just find a random page from the Joe Palmer 1953 collection and realize there’s still a lot of ground to cover
36 jockeys had at least 84 mounts in January, & it's @flothejock leading them all with an incredible 35.1% win percentage. In fact, that % is the highest among all jocks with at least 84 mounts in January since 2001 (next is Russell Baze w/ 34.2% in Jan. 2003)
@GulfstreamPark , please clarify if this 50% is still allowed . I read a DRF article today stating NO GENERAL PUBLIC allowed. Which is correct please @GulfstreamPark @DRFWelsch ?? @jasonblewitt30 @AnnouncerPete
