This is from the Daily Racing form today.

"Badge of Silver had his final Blue Grass tuneup Wednesday, working a mile in a swift 1:38 at Churchill. Regular rider Robby Albarado was aboard for trainer Ronny Werner."

You really have to wonder about some of these guys, Werner and Baffert. This is a horse that has been sick, lost weight had a throat surgery. Does the trainer really need to work him this fast to find out if he is "doing good".

A mile in 1:38 is almost like another race! Just what this horse needs with the compressed schedule he has been on-yah right. Maybe he wins the Blue Grass but it won't be with my money on him.
