Recent Works

April 28 - Five furlongs breezing in :59.40 at Churchill Downs, track fast. Best of 22 workouts at the distance.

"He worked very well," trainer Barclay Tagg said after the April 28 workout. "He did everything right. He likes the surface."

April 22 - Four furlongs breezing in :48.80 at Keeneland Race Course, all-weather track fast. Eighth best of 43 workouts at the distance.

"He went a little faster than I wanted, but it's fine," trainer Barclay Tagg said. "I generally like their maintenance works to be around :49, but it's no problem."

Future Plans

Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) on May 3 at Churchill Downs

Quotable

Owner Eric Fein on the possibility of continuing on to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) with Big Truck after the colt won the Tampa Bay Derby (G3) while champion War Pass finished last:

"I certainly have Derby fever, but we have to make a decision for what's best for the horse. We're hoping the truck stops in Louisville."
