I would answer your question by saying I trust Motion just as much as I would trust any other trainer with a 3 year old colt that won a major Derby prep.  Meaning the colt is going to run in the KY Derby unless something is obviously wrong.  That\'s not the same thing as only running if everything is 100% right.

Hopefully IWC will get one work over the CD strip the Sat or Sun before the race.  It may be hard to assess his condition based on gallops alone.

Hell of a purchase by the Prince after that Illinois Derby. Who was advising him?

It could change,but Motion has him getting his only work at Fair Hill(on the same schedule working 3 weeks after a race)then shipping to Churchill the week of the Derby.

I think he prefers the quiet of Fair Hill as long as possible.

Richard Mulhall was the Prince\'s Race Manager during the War Emblem and Point Given timeframe. Richard (deceased) was CA trainer, Kristen Mulhall\'s father.
