Late Derby Prospects
Loggins - no works since the Breeder's Futurity; not clear he's even shipped in to a racetrack to train (was/is at WinStar)
Cave Rock - no works since the BC; according to a local news report has no race picked out for his return
Blazing Sevens - 3 works since the BC starting in late Jan; probably status quo for a horse from that barn
Forte - 3 works since the BC starting in late Jan; already reported that FOY is his targeted return
National Treasure - 2 short & slow works since his odds-on defeat in the Jan 8 Sham in which the only horses he finished in front of eased or pulled up
For comparison, 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah was injured in the fall of his 2yo year and didn't start breezing until early February as a 3yo. However, he was put on a very aggressive training pattern, working every 5 or 6 days in fast times.
