Actually, Pyro had an untimed 6f work in the heavy fog last week. Pyro's last work before he won the La Derby was 4f in 50.4. I don't think any of the other horses that ran on Apr 12 (Bluegrass or Arkansas) have worked more than once since. Z Fortune (Asmussen)was even slower.
Without getting into it too deep. Yesterday's main workers Colonel and the fillies are always trained fast. Hardy learned from Baffert who put sharp drills into his Derby winners. Jones worked Hard Spun very fast last year. Asmussen, on the other hand, held Curlin to a 1:02 work before the Breeders Cup.
