It was a last-minute change of plans on Saturday morning for the Kentucky Derby favorite Journalism.The Santa Anita Derby winner shipped to Churchill Downs earlier in the week and was scheduled to have his final pre-Derby workout on Saturday morning. Regular jockey Umberto Rispoli had taken a red-eye flight from Southern California to be on hand.But after a lot of rain on Friday in the Louisville area, trainer Michael McCarthy made a last-second adjustment. According to co-owner Aaron Wellman of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, McCarthy didn맥스카지노�t want to work over the track and postponed the work until Sunday morning.Journalism did go through his morning gallop routine on the track."In a perfect world, we would have worked today, seven days out from the race,맥스카지노� Wellman said. 맥스카지노�But, not being 100 percent comfortable with the track condition, we just decided to err on the side of caution and wait an extra day. We know the weather will be good today, have a good, clean track tomorrow.맥스카지노�You always have to be flexible. Thankfully, we have a horse that is a good-minded horse. He맥스카지노�s fit as can be. If he맥스카지노�s not fit enough to run in the Kentucky Derby seven or six days out then we have bigger problems.맥스카지노�Perhaps the bigger question now is whether Rispoli will return to work him? Wellman and Rispoli맥스카지노�s agent, Matt Nakatani, said that was the plan.Based in California, Rispoli had six mounts and won two races on Friday. He flew overnight to Cincinnati where Nakatani picked him up and took him to Churchill.Rispoli left just after the horse finished training and had a flight from Louisville that had a stop in Atlanta and was then headed to Burbank, California. He has seven mounts on the Saturday card at Santa Anita.Nakatani said 맥스카지노�the plan맥스카지노� was for him to return for the work.Journalism has won four straight races heading into the Derby and is expected to he a heavy favorite in the field of 20.Rispoli will be making his third start in the Derby. His best finish came last year when Endlessly finished ninth.RENDER JUDGEMENT IN THE FIELDOne day after trainer Kenny McPeek said he would skip the Derby with Render Judgement, the connections announced a change in plans.McPeek said he did enter the fifth-place finisher in the Blue Grass Stakes in the Derby. He moved into the field when Tappan Street was ruled out of the Derby.맥스카지노�He맥스카지노�s a nice horse,맥스카지노� McPeek said. 맥스카지노�. . . He맥스카지노�s going to have to find a whole other level but it is a horse race. A lot can happen.맥스카지노�A son of Blame, Render Judgement has one win during his career and was second in the Virginia Derby.Julian Leparoux will ride Render Judgment in the Derby. It will be his first time aboard the colt but his 14th overall Derby.BAEZA JUST WAITING FOR A SPOTTrainer John Sherrifs is back in the same barn he was in 20 years ago when he won the Derby with Giacomo.Sherrifs feels like he has another big chance at the roses, but now he just has to hope to get into the race. Only the top 20 horses on the Kentucky Derby points list get into the field and Sherrifs맥스카지노� conditions Santa Anita Derby winner Baeza, who is sitting at No. 21.Baeza was entered in the Derby, and if someone scratches between now and Friday morning he맥스카지노�ll get into the field.맥스카지노�There맥스카지노�s a chance,맥스카지노� Sherrifs said. 맥스카지노�We have prepared as if he was going to run, so if he happens to get in great.맥스카지노�(If he doesn맥스카지노�t) the logical next step would be the Preakness but we are not going to think about that.맥스카지노�The son of McKinzie has a win and two seconds in four career starts. He was the runner-up to Journalism and ran a big Santa Anita Derby, which didn맥스카지노�t give him enough points to get into the Derby field but put Baeza as a horse many have been talking about heading into the Derby.Baeza was No. 24 on the points list on April 16 but has worked his way up with other entries dropping out.SEVERAL OTHER DERBY CONTENDERS WORKTrainer Brad Cox worked his two Derby entries on Saturday for the final pre-race workout.Cox reported that Tappan Street was injured in the workout and would miss the Derby, while Jeff Ruby Stakes winner Final Gambit breezed five furlongs in 1:01.맥스카지노�Final Gambit was really good,맥스카지노� Cox said. 맥스카지노�Very similar to last week, he was full of energy and a good gallop out.맥스카지노�(Jockey) Luan (Machado) breezed him and really liked how he felt. A really good breeze.맥스카지노�Blue Grass Stakes winner Burnham Square worked five furlongs in 59.20 seconds, while Virginia Derby winner American Promise worked five furlongs in 59.40 seconds.POST TIMES FOR DERBY WEEKENDChurchill Downs released the post times for Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby day.The first post for each day will be 11 a.m.On Friday, the Kentucky Oaks post time is set for 5:51 p.m., while the Kentucky Derby post time on Saturday is 6:57 p.m.
