Now this year, ,El Padrino is the toss off his works.
The thing is, El Padrino has never been a good work horse.
Yeah, I'd liked to see more than a 53 half the week of the Derby but, at 25-30:1 I'll take my chances.

That's incorrect regarding Hard Spun. He was training well for Derby. The issue was the speed of the big :57 work and whether or not it would have a negative impact on him race day.
Hard to believe anyone would find fault with guys who correctly answered the biggest question of last year's race with a $43.80 winner.
