LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Bob Baffert is no longer coming to Kentucky Derby 152 under the radar.  Potente, a 20-1 shot on the morning line, may have raised his profile while lowering his odds with a scorching five-furlong workout in 57.77 seconds Sunday morning over the Churchill Downs main track. It’s not so much that he worked fast – the main track produced many fast times Sunday morning – as it is how he did it and how he seemingly came out of it.  Potente, under Martin Garcia, worked during the 7:15-7:30 a.m. time reserved for horses running in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. Potente started just off the flank of the maiden Embry Show (fifth on debut) and tracked that horse through splits of 11.92, 23.68, and 34.73, according to Daily Racing Form clocker Mike Welsch. He got his final quarter in 23.04 and continued out six furlongs in 1:10.71.  “I didn’t think he was going that fast, I look down [at his stopwatch] and go ‘Oh, he was going a little fast,’ but he had a hold of him the whole way,” Baffert said.  Baffert said he was pleased with the way the horse looked immediately back at the barn.  “It looks like it took nothing out of him, so that’s the important thing,” Baffert said. “You don’t really want to see them work that fast, but I’ve had horses work that fast and run really well.”  :: Get DRF Kentucky Oaks & Derby Clocker Reports by Mike Welsch and the DRF Clocker Team About 2 1/2 hours after the work, Potente was at the front of his stall, attacking his hay rack.  “He’s bright,” Baffert said. “If he was in a corner with his head down, I’d be a little bit worried.”  Potente, a son of Into Mischief who brought $2.4 million at auction, has only started three times. He won a six-furlong maiden on Jan. 31, then won the Grade 2 San Felipe by a head before finishng second to So Happy in the Santa Anita Derby. Baffert felt Potente had the wrong type of trip in that race as he was on the lead.  Baffert also noted that with his horse being so lightly raced, having a hard race in the Santa Anita Derby – even in a loss – is a good thing.  “It was a good tough race for him, he needed that,” Baffert said. “Lightly raced horse, it’s good to get a tough one into him.”  Baffert, who also will run Litmus Test in Saturday’s Derby, has won a record-tying six Kentucky Derbies. He had a seventh one taken away when Medina Spirit was disqualified for a medication violation.  Baffert said he’s not obsessing about trying to get a record seventh Derby.  “I don’t think about it like that,” Baffert said. “You just want to get here with a good horse.”   While Baffert was happy with his colt’s fast work, trainer Jeff Mullins was not happy when he watched Intrepido work a half-mile in 44.76 under jockey Hector Berrios. Mullins, who has a broken leg, watched the work on television from California.  “I wasn’t very happy about it,” Mullins said. “It’s not a good sign ever for my horse. He did not need to work that fast this close to the race over a new surface.”  :: DRF Kentucky Derby Package: Save on Past Performances, Clocker Reports, Betting Strategies, and more. The Churchill surface wasn’t new for Incredibolt but he sure seemed happy to be back on it Sunday morning as he worked a half-mile in 46.87 under jockey Jaime Torres. Incredibolt, working in company with the unstarted Wan Dale, went his first quarter in 23.72 and his second quarter in 23.15 while continuing on out five furlongs in 59.75.  “He felt amazing,” Torres said. “I felt we were going pretty fast in the beginning, but he was doing it very easy. By the eighth pole, Riley told me if you have more horse just let him cruise. I didn’t have to do anything, I just let him do his thing and he did it very easy.”  Trainer Riley Mott said he was happy with the work, which was Incredibolt’s first at Churchill after having spent all winter at the Palm Meadows training center in Florida. Incredibolt went 2 for 2 at Churchill last fall, including a victory in the Street Sense Stakes.  “The horse trained really well down in Florida, he gets over that Palm Meadows surface extremely well and works well over it,” Mott said. “Albus would have stayed down there too if he hadn’t gone to the Wood Memorial.”  Albus, Riley Mott’s other Derby starter, worked a half-mile in 49.18, getting his second quarter in 23.98. Albus shipped to Churchill after he won the Wood Memorial on April 4.  “I think it was pretty standard,” Mott said of Albus’s work. “He’s into it, he’s sort of got a grinder mentality to him so I thought it was pretty good.”  Riley’s father, Bill Mott, sent Chief Wallabee out for his final pre-Derby work. With Junior Alvarado maintaining a strong hold of him throughout, Chief Wallabee went a half-mile in 49.83 while galloping out five furlongs in 1:02.43. He worked in company with Steel, a debut winner who finished ninth in the Wood Memorial.  :: Get DRF Kentucky Oaks & Derby Betting Strategies by Marcus Hersh and David Aragona.

I had my hands full of horse the whole way around. “Maybe just on the gallop out I let him stretch his legs a little bit more without really letting him get away from me. I like that energy though.”  Doug O’Neill put his pair of Kentucky Derby entrants through workouts out of the gate in separate pairings. Pavlovian, the Sunland Park Derby winner, went an easy half mile in 51.01 while Robusta, beaten a head by Potente in the San Felipe but seventh in the Santa Anita Derby, went five furlongs in 1:03.60. Robusta is three deep on the also-eligible list and needs three scratches by 9 a.m. Friday to get into the field. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
