INDIANTOWN, Fla. – Hard to Justify, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner, is being pointed to the Grade 2, $600,000 Edgewood at Churchill Downs on the May 3 Kentucky Oaks undercard. On Friday at Payson Park, Hard to Justify worked a half-mile in 48.98 seconds over the main track. It was her fifth work since getting started just a hair late following a freshening.
“She’s training great, she’s taken another step forward, a little stronger this year,” Brown said. “She’s training like an older horse, really.”
◗ Just F Y I, the undefeated champion 2-year-old filly of 2024, worked a half-mile in 48.80 seconds Friday morning and is on schedule to run in next Friday’s Grade 1 Ashland, trainer Bill Mott said. She missed the Davona Dale due to a temperature and has now worked sharply twice since then.
