Emily Shields Charlatan hasn't raced since finishing second in the Saudi Cup on Feb. 20.

Charlatan has not worked since April 12 at Santa Anita, and Baffert said the Sunday drill will determine how he proceeds with the once-beaten 4-year-old colt.
Baffert said his other Derby Day winners Gamine (Grade 1 Derby City Distaff) and Du Jour (Grade 2 American Turf) have returned to his Santa Anita base.
