Essential Quality is still the only 3-year-old to run a negative Thoro-Graph number and I would expect to see another fast number in the Blue Grass. When they really let him open up in a work he went his half in an eye-catching :46 2/5, but was never being urged. Though he is more experienced than Taiba, it is not by a whole lot. In the Florida Derby he reverted back to his old speedy ways due to strategy gone wrong and paid the price, getting caught in the middle of a three-horse speed duel, then a two-horse duel through a rapid Brisnet middle pace figure of 113 before tiring a bit in the stretch to finish third. Does anyone remember when Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby winner Thunder Gulch finished a dull fourth in the Blue Grass Stakes as the 6-5 favorite? Hustled away from the gate, he sat closer to the pace than he had in his first three starts, sitting in third after a half-mile. This is all about hopes and dreams and we certainly have both..

Shuffled back in traffic to be last of 11, his chances of passing the entire field seemed bleak. Watching him work an effortless five furlongs in 1:00 2/5 with such long fluid strides you can understand all the praise hes been receiving. Who knows who is going to set the pace in the Derby? He was given a cue to switch leads by his rider and did so in a bullet five-furlong solo workout :58.62 at Gulfstream this past Saturday. Crowded Trade had every chance in the stretch, but couldnt sustain his run. And for those who follow it, he is now the only one among the Derby hopefuls to earn a 100 Beyer this year. Unlike Pletchers other two Derby horses, Charge It and Pioneer of Medina, who ran five and six weeks prior to the Derby, Mo Donegal had that big effort four weeks out and didnt need to do as much in his work. Though his lead diminished in the final furlong, from 4 to 2 lengths, he was confidently handled by Joel Rosario to defeat Zandon and Smile Happy in their kickoff races of the season. With only one easy victory in the slop in five months he needed to have a tough race, and what made this a perfect prep is that he fought hard to beat a very good horse by a neck and most important there was a 5 1/2-length gap back to the third horse.
