Justify worked this morning
 

Watched his work on Twin Spires just now. He went 4f in 46&change. Did it with such ease. Gallop out was great, ears flicking to his jock. Then, straight up, wanting to do more.


The video should be available a bit later.

that's a very fast work for a horse that is going a mile and a half next week.

Baffert works his horses like that and has had pretty good success. And, this horse is undefeated and just won three straight GR1 races. Do you really expect him to work slow?

Lambo, I thought so, too. It's why I noted the final time. He moves effortlessly and there was no clue he'd traveled so quickly. He really listens to whoever is on his back. Baffert flew Martin Garcia in to ride for the work. He was a handful galloping yesterday morning. .... Baffert will discuss later, no doubt.

Pandy, really, we all know how Bob works his horses but this was, indeed, fast!

that tightener in the last race has got him ready for Saturday

Video of work included.

Watch that workout from today (05-29) which is very reminiscent of the way AP moved in his works, and tell me that isn't the dream way that a horse was indeed intended to travel or move. Flawless and effortless stride and he simply is "flying along" when going about his business. What an incredible way of going and someone like (LoneF) can honestly say that Justify is "Just a Fraud". One has to have never seen a Top Notch Thoroughbred ever run in their entire life to utter such an absurdity... WOW!! What an unbelievable horse!! :)

He is a nice horse, getting or not getting 12F is not going to change my opinion. This slow crap has been beat to death.

Nice work.

When I saw his picture at the link it reminded me of Secretariat. The work maybe not as fast as one might think as "the trackman did an outstanding job having it ready for us. It had some bounce to it", Baffert said. Maybe add a length or two to the time making it Justifiably perfect. W/that work Baffert is leaving nothing to chance, there will be no excuses - the horse is ready.

Pletcher and Repole fired the first shot across the bow w/that 47 flat half w/Vino Rosso and Noble Indy. Baffert and the China Horse Club fired one right back w/a 46.80! WOW. Baffert ain't backin' out of it, not one bit. It'll be interesting to see how Pletcher and Repole respond. They have to go 6 in 1:13, fire one right back.

Things are heatin' up and the drama thickens . . . NY, NY. :cool:


Nothin' like the Belmont Stakes.

If this horse had worked in 48 I would probably have tossed him...Baffert trains his horses fast to run fast, a slow work is an auto toss for him.

do i expect a slow work, YES. but who am i to question what Baffert does? AMERICAN PHAROAH had a nice slow easy work going into the Belmont. maybe this is horse that needs to work fast. also when PHAROAH ran he was traveling back and forth from the west coast, this guy is staying in the eastern half of the country. he is certainly a different type of horse.

American Pharoah prepped for the Belmont Stakes at Churchill Downs just like Justify.

That's not really that fast for a horse of that caliber in So. California trained by Baffert. I'm not being facetious. It's So. Cal, a lot of horses train fast on that circuit and Baffert has had plenty of maidens train that fast. It was :46.4, pretty much what you'd expect from a horse like this.

Pharoah worked the Monday before the race (would be June 4th on this year's calendar). I was telling you guys to look out for a work going 4F between Friday 6/1 and Monday 6/4. - So Justify is doing well enough that he's 3 days ahead of that projection.

American Pharoah worked twice for the Belmont.

Once on May 26, 10 days after the Preakness and once on June 1st, 5 days before the Belmont.

Justify also had his first work for the Belmont 10 days after the Preakness. He is also expected to breeze again before the Belmont.
