I love the differences in some of these trainers............
Odds on anybody going out tomorrow morning?
Oh Papa!!!
In an "old school" move, trainer Gary Stute sent out his Papa Clem for a three-furlong blowout at Churchill Downs two days before the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). Under jockey Rafael Bejarano, the son of Smart Strike threw down a :34 clocking, and was caught "galloping out" in :46 1/5 by Stute.
“I had 33 and four,” Stute said back at Barn 10A of the bold move. “It was exactly what I wanted. What I wanted was a real good quarter and a gallop out in three eighths and that’s what we got.”
Stute said he got the Bo Hirsch’s homebred colt’s first quarter in :21 3/5.
“I wanted to let him roll,” Stute said. “The last few works he was kind of goofing around and I wanted him to concentrate down the lane, so that’s why I broke him off at the quarter pole because I wanted him to be focused down the lane. I think I accomplished that.”
