All Quiet at Churchill

Not much going on with the Oaks starters or the likely Derby contenders. Cool Coal Man was the only one to work at Churchill Downs this morning, going four furlongs in :47.51 in company with stablemate Chris Got Even. The day’s most exciting action happened at Palm Meadows, where Big Brown breezed through five furlongs in :58.60, delighting trainer Rick Dutrow. “I just can’t believe he went that fast. He looked like he was galloping along when he went past me” (ThoroTimes). Big Brown ships to Churchill on Monday.
