![]() Justify has his bath after his workout on Monday morning at Churchill Downs. |
Monday morning Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Justify had his final timed work at Churchill Downs in preparation for the 150th Belmont Stakes on Saturday in New York. Also out this morning were Tenfold and Restoring Hope on a sunny, cool day. Bravazo left trainer D. Wayne Lukas' Barn 44 early Monday morning via van to New York and Free Drop Billy walked trainer Dale Romans' Barn 4 shedrow this morning.
The weather for Belmont Day is starting to turn on us, with temperatures still in the mid-70s but now they are calling for mostly cloudy and a 50% chance of showers in the afternoon. After all the rain for Derby and Preakness, please let the Belmont be dry!
Here are some photos from Monday, mostly of Justify but also Tenfold and Restoring Hope.

"It was a really nice breeze and exactly what we were looking for," Baffert said. "He relaxed nicely and seemed very happy. Martin was very happy with him as well so I was happy, too. He was a little fresh earlier in the week so it was good to see him relax nicely."

"Restoring Hope went really well," Baffert said. "He's always been a really good work horse. He's sort of a one-paced horse. He went a little faster than Justify but I thought overall the work was very good."
