No other Derby/Oaks drills until after the harrow break, but ON FIRE BABY might have already put in the day's most enthusiastic showing with a spirited 2 minute lick twice around the oval. The big grey may not be best Oaks Day, but her fitness won't be the drawback. There would be pandemonium at the Downs should the totally local connection of Mrs. Cauley, Red Dog Hartlege and Joe Johnson were to win Friday..
