“Monba and Cowboy Cal both walked,” horse trainer Todd Pletcher said, “and Behindatthebar galloped a mile and a quarter.”
Monba and Cowboy Cal had both worked the day before on the Lexington track’s Polytrack surface. Monba went five furlongs in 1:02.60 and Cowboy Cal ran the same distance in 1:00.
Behindatthebar most recently captured Keeneland’s Coolmore Lexington Stakes (GII) on April 19.
“We’ll ship them over here (Churchill Downs) on Wednesday,” the trainer offered. “And we’ll be making a decision on Behindatthebar (running in the Kentucky Derby) in the next little while.”
The 2008 Kentucky Derby riding assignments for the three colts are Ramon Dominguez on Starlight, Lucarelli and Saylor’s Monba; John Velazquez on Stonerside Stable’s Cowboy Cal; and David Flores on Padua Stables, Michael Shustek and Don Stanley’s Behindatthebar.
