"Looking at his form, it looks pretty clear from the races like the horse was missing his Lasix."
Whatever seems to have splurged from the Serenity Stables team, there is no doubting that KYD favourite Timepiece is still on top of his game, following a bullet work at CD today and has been cut in the betting with Wentbet.
It was another standard 5 furlong blowout in :57.45, marginally quicker than his time covered over the same course on May 1 prior to the Run for the Roses, in which he finished 5th from the terrible inside gate.
The Time Clock colt's odds have been slashed to 4-1 (from 5-1) following today's workout, with the favourite and second elect, Fusion and The Texas Kidd, holding ground at their respective odds.
The unexpected 1 1/2 mile gallop at the home of the Grade I BEL next month has caused Stormy Regent's odds to be suspended indefinitely.
Hollywood Moon responded off his respectable performance to finish 11 lengths behind in eighth in the Derby, with a 1:11.50 work over 6 furlongs at PIM - his odds have been cut to 20-1 (from 26-1) following this above-standard work.
The Timepiece stablemate Lost In Bagdad has covered a mile at the Elmont track in 1:38 and change, but also could be after the final leg of the TC instead. That beind said, his odds have also been shaved to 40-1 (from 50-1).
The official release of the field for the Grade I PRK is expected tomorrow morning. Expect a remarkable change to the markets when this unfolds.
