[i]Stormello was clocked at 1:00.80 for five furlongs in company with one of Currin’s maidens.
“It was perfect, the best work of his life,” Currin said. “Not just the final time, but the way he did it. We had him behind the workhorse for a while, then he moved up inside, then he moved up outside, then he dropped back again. When Kent finally moved on him at the end, he just devoured the other horse.
“Kent got off the horse all pumped up and excited. There were some media people watching the work and Kent told them, ‘He will win the Kentucky Derby.’ They asked me how I felt, and I pointed at Kent and said ‘My jockey said it all for me.’”
