IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED... It=s been over a half-century since Tim Tam parlayeda win in the Derby Trial into victory in the Run for theRoses a week further down the road. In 2005, Don=tGet Mad (Stephen Got Even) came with a furious finish
to take the Trial beforeacquitting himself verywell on seven days=rest, finishing 3 1/2lengths behind thevictorious Giacomo(Holy Bull) in the Runfor the Roses. Theconnections of at leasttwo of today=s partici-pants are definitely init to win it, with thegoal of cementing a
spot in the Kentucky Derby gate if they want it.J “TDN Rising Star” J Eightyfiveinafifty (ForestCamp) stretches back out to Churchill=s one-turn mileoff a handy success in the GIII Bay Shore S. on theWood Memorial undercard Apr. 3, and hopes to handlethis route of ground better than his first try. That camein the Whirlaway S. in New York Feb. 6, when he blewthe turn and dumped Jorge Chavez and jumped theoutside rail. Pleasant Prince (Indy King) was fourth toDerby favorite Eskendereya (Giant=s Causeway) in theGII Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth S. Feb. 20, but came back four weeks later to miss by a nose in the GIFlorida Derby. With an eye on some extra graded-stakesearnings, he came back in the GI Toyota Blue Grass S.Apr. 10, but was no better than seventh. He makes histhird start in the span of 35 days this afternoon.

THREE CHEERS FOR MUSKETIER Runner-up when a 27-1 chance in last year=s GII FifthThird Elkhorn S. at bucolic Keeneland Race Course,Musketier (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}) sat a midpack tripbeneath John Velazquez, came out and around rivals inupper stretch and pulled clear for a 1 3/4-length vic-tory. The win gave trainer Roger Attfield a sweep of theturf marathon events to close the meeting annually inLexington. Subesquently ninth over an insufficient ninepanels in Pimlico=s GII Dixie S. May 16, he stretchedback out to 12 panels to annex the GIII Singspiel S. athis Woodbine base June 21. Employing pacesettingtactics in the GI Man O=War S. at Belmont July 11, heheld dourly for second behind Gio Ponti (Tale of theCat), but faltered to ninth after attending a brisk pace inthe GI Sword Dancer Invitational S. at Saratoga Aug. 15. He made just one additional appearance in2009, a last-of-six effort in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Clas-sic Invitational S. Oct. 3. A touch slow into stride,Musketier was guided over to the inside to save someground from centerfield as Timeless Fashion (Sky Clas-sic) tried to slow things down up front. He advancedinto sixth position on the turn and responded whenasked to win handily. Brass Hat (Prized) rallied from thetail of the field to gain the place, while longshot Blush-ing Bear (Rahy) was a good third. Expansion (Maria=sMon) was perhaps the unluckiest participant in yester-day=s event, as he was blocked for a run at a crucialstage and ran on late into fourth. Chart p4

Paco Boy registered his first score at this trip whengarnering last year=s renewal, and the dual Group 1winner makes his seasonal return coming back off asecond to Rip Van Winkle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in July=sG1 Sussex S. at Goodwood. However, trainer RichardHannon is at pains to point out that the G1 QueenAnne S. winner will not be risked on unsuitably fastgoing, and may be scratched. AThe intention is to run asthe race is set-up for Paco Boy and will put him spot onfor the [May 15 G1] Lockinge S. at Newbury nextmonth,@ Hannon said. ALast year we had to carry asix-pound penalty for our [G1] Prix de la Foret successthe previous autumn, but this time he gets in with nopenalty, so it is very tempting. I am told that they havewatered the course twice this week, but they are talk-ing about temperatures reaching 20 degrees [Celsius]on Saturday, so it will dry out quickly, and there is noway that I will mess up our season before we havestarted.@ Chief among his intended rivals is JuddmonteFarms= Confront, who backed up a pair of listed suc-cesses with victory in October=s G3 Joel S. atNewmarket. He finished a close-up sixth in December=sG1 Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin next time, and returns toEuropean action coming off a troubled effort in lastmonth=s G1 Dubai Duty Free at Meydan.

Snapped up by Godolphin following his closing sec-ond in the G1 Vincent O=Brien National S. at TheCurragh in September, Chabal took this Derby trial tobury the memory of a subsequently disappointing un-placed effort in Newmarket=s G1 Dewhurst S. when lastseen in October. Keen throughout the opening ex-changes, the bay was eventually settled in last byFrankie Dettori before being wound up for his challengein early stretch. Swooping wide to lead with a quartermile remaining, he saw off Azmeel in the final 100yards en route to a decisive score. AWe were really keenthat he relaxed and enjoyed his day out today, as in theDewhurst he was a little bit keen,@ racing managerSimon Crisford said. AHe=s been very good throughoutthe winter and it=s all worked out very well--he didparticularly well to finish up like that with the lack ofearly pace. He=s always moved well, so we didn=t thinkthe fast ground was going to be an issue, and he is adefinite candidate for the [June 5] G1 Epsom Derby. Hewill hopefully go for the [May 13] G2 Dante S. at Yorkfirst and we=ll take it from there, but I think the extratwo furlongs of the Derby won=t be a problem. Whetherthe cambers of Epsom will be so good for him, as he=sa big horse, is open to question and more importantly,it=s a case of whether he is settled and relaxed.@ Click forbisnet.com PPs or Racing Post race chart.

Work of the Day--Paddy O’Prado... By all accounts, the most impressive worker of themorning was Paddy O=Prado (El Prado {Ire}), theGI Toyota Blue Grass S. runner-up who went five-eighths of a mile over a sloppy Churchill strip in :58.40,
the best of 21 moves atthe distance. The graycolt got his openingfurlong in :12.20 andthe quarter in :23.60.His three-eighths wasaccomplished in :35 flatand he galloped out sixpanels in an impressive1:11.40, seven furlongsin 1:25.60 and the milein 1:41.40. AHe went
perfect--I couldn=t be more pleased with how he went,@trainer Dale Romans said. AHe went fast, but he waswell in hand, finished strong and galloped out good. Hecouldn=t be coming into the race any better. This is arace in which you need to be peaking--and it looks likehe=s peaking.@
Maker Duo Go a Day Early... With rain in the forecast for Saturday, trainer MikeMaker called an audible and sent out his two Derbyhopefuls, GI Toyota Blue Grass S. hero Stately Victor(Ghostzapper) and GII Lane=s End S. winner Dean=sKitten (Kitten=s Joy), for their final pre-race works yes-terday morning at the Trackside Training Center. Breez-ing in company with stablemate Kera=s Kitten (Kitten=sJoy), Stately Victor went five furlongs in 1:00.60, infractions of :11, :22.40, :34.60 and :47.20 beforegalloping out six panels in 1:16.60. AI was looking forwhat we got,@ Maker said. AHe did it well within himselfand galloped out strong as usual. So it=s status quo. Hehasn=t lost an ounce of weight and to me looks to meas beautiful as he was going into the Blue Grass, sohopefully his synthetic track [form] will transfer overthe to the dirt.@ Dean=s Kitten worked in the companyof three-year-old stakes-winning filly Age of Humor(Distorted Humor) and covered the same five furlongsin 1:01.20. Working as a team through splits of :11.20,:22.60, :35.60 and :47.80, Age of Humor edged to thefore in upper stretch before getting caught by Dean=sKitten at the wire. AIt was a similar-type work and theresults were about the same as last week,@ Maker said. ADean=s Kitten is not an impressive work horse, so he=sstatus quo as well.@
Ice Box Gets Half-Mile Bullet... Trainer Nick Zito wouldn=t mind an off track on Derbyday for Florida Derby winner Ice Box (Pulpit), whoworked a half-mile in a sizzling :46.40, fastest of 27works at the trip. AThe work was really good and hisgallop out was even more impressive,@ said Zito, whowon the 1991 Derby with Strike the Gold and sent outGo for Gin in 1994. Did Ice Box gallop out all the wayto the kitchen near the half-mile pole? AYes. Yes he did,just like Strike the Gold,@ Zito said, beaming as he re-called that colt=s final work before his Kentucky Derbyvictory.
Borislow Buys in to Homeboykris... Owner Daniel Borislow, who campaigned MGISWToccet (Awesome Again) in the early 2000s, has pur-chased a minority interest in Homeboykris (RomanRuler) ahead of his intended run in next Saturday=s GI Kentucky Derby. The Midlantic-based owner joins agroup that includes Los Angeles Dodgers manager JoeTorre, Louis Lazzinaro and Jack Mandato, among oth-ers. Homeboykris, winner of last year=s GI ChampagneS., is trained by Rick Dutrow Jr. and has not racedsince finishing second in a Feb. 27 Gulfstream allow-ance over a one-turn mile. Borislow is the inventor of adevice called magicJack, which allows one to plug theirhome phone into a computer to make and receive callsfor an annual fee. AI=ve always done real well with Rick,a number of the guys are investors in my companymagicJack, they asked me to come in and so I did,@Borislow said. Dutrow conditioned Wild Desert (WildRush) to victory in the 2005 Queen=s Plate for Borislow.

don=t work them fastearly, so she went thefirst three furlongs in:39 and change andcame the final threefurlongs in :35,@ ex-plained trainer JerryHollendorfer, whoadded that the chest-nut galloped out sevenfurlongs in 1:26 andchange. Hollendorfer isno stranger to the
Oaks winner=s circle, having taken the 1991 renewalwith Lite Light before scoring five years later with PikePlace Dancer. AI=d rank [Blind Luck] right up there withthem,@ the conditioner commented. Blind Luck departsfor Churchill Downs this afternoon and will gallop up tothe Oaks. Hollendorfer will join his charge Tuesday.
Sassy Image Could Miss Oaks... Sassy Image (Broken Vow), winner of theGIII Pocahontas S. and GII Golden Rod S. beneath theTwin Spires last November, could miss the Oaks, asshe has been unable to breeze of late. The filly has notraced since finishing a listless fifth to Amen Hallelujah(Montbrook) in the GII Davona Dale S. at GulfstreamFeb. 27. AI didn=t work her in the mud, and I=m notgoing to,@ Romans said. AIf I don=t get a fast track inthe next couple of days, she=s not going to make therace.@ Gio Ponti Scheduled to Defend in Manhattan...
Gio Ponti (Tale of the Cat), the reigning champion oldermale and champion turf horse, has returned to gallopingfor trainer Christophe Clement at Payson Park and looksto be on schedule for a defense of his title in the GI Manhattan H. on the Belmont S. undercardJune 5.

The 1,300 employees of NYCOTB wereinformed several weeks ago that all of the company=sbetting parlors and its account-wagering operationwould be shut down unless the state legislature inter-vened, but they changed their position last week andannounced that it would remain in existence for at leastthe next year. According to DRF, Frucher has said thathalf of NYCOTB employees would be fired and thattwo-thirds of the betting parlors would be closed aspart of its reorganization. Since the majority ofNYCOTB employees are unionized, the company ispursuing legislation that would enable it to offer earlyretirement packages as a concession to the union, DRFreports.

Zippy Chippy to Old Friends at Cabin Creek: Zippy Chippy (Compliance--Listen Lady, byBuckfinder), whose record of complete futility earnedhim something of a cult following, arrived Thursday tolive out his days at Old Friends at Cabin Creek in Green-field Center, NY.

AI don=twant any crazy people claiming him. He=s like a memberof my family,@ the conditioner is on record as saying.His inability to win and his generally ornery natureresulted in his being banned from most racetracks inthe late 1990s, but he continued to run--unsucessfully--at the Three County Fair in Northampton, MA. It was atthat track Apr. 10, 2004, that Zippy Chippy made his100th and final appearance.
