Most recent work came h/u from the gate with Our Commodore, an unraced barnmate who happens to be the 8/5 ml favorite in this same race.
In the work prior to that, he appeared to have been slightly outworked by Royal Son, who ran second @ Saratoga a couple of times last summer before disappearing along with Bully Proof.
Prior to that, Bully Proof worked a h/u bullet with JS Bach, who came out of that drill to run second @ Gulfstream last week.
Apparently everybody was on this one... Saved me $$$.
Yeah, i actually saw 1/5 on him at one point. A lot of lucky people out there when he got put up on the DQ.
Pletcher has one going today (Materiality) that is coming off two straight drills with winners, one of whom is Royal Son, the other of whom is an impressive maiden winner fro the Ziade barn (recent private purchase for Pletcher?).

Where has this one been hiding out? Looks the part for just about anything, and getting $5.40/$4.00 on win/place looks like a gift! DC, thanks for the heads up on this one!

Gracias. I bet it very small at evens and got a nice surprise.
What do you know about Requite? Can you confirm that he worked with the Calhoun horse?
ON THE COMEBACK TRAIL
Requite (Warriors Reward) has not raced since last September. The colt, owned by Bermuda Limestone Thoroughbreds, won at first asking at Saratoga Aug. 9 and wrapped up his two-start campaign with a fourth-place finish in the GI Hopeful S. Sept. 1. The bay has posted four recent workouts at Palm Beach Downs.
"Hes coming back well," Weaver explained. "He was a little slow to come back to where we want him, but his last couple weeks have been his best couple of weeks. Im going to work him [Tuesday] and he should be coming up to a start fairly quickly as well."
Great to hear. I've actually seen his name on Kentucky Derby sheets all Spring (lol), and was trying to remember the last time i'd seen him run. Was pretty sure he hadn't been out since Saratoga, unless he slipped by me somewhere.
Couldn't figure out why I kept getting updates on Da Jenius. Finished 5th yesterday at 119-1
Wow, there's a blast from the past. I didn't even realize he was still in training. Kind of gets me thinking about Saratoga again. Right around the corner!

Update here: Royal Son's penultimate workout (12/20) came heads-up with Commissioner, who was last seen running second in the Belmont Stakes.
