1) Untrapped....blinkers off for the Derby and working with them off
2) McCraken....great work today. see the video if you can. He looked like a champ.
This according to Ray Paulick, Paulick Report.....Hernandez rode the work:
"The 3-year-old son of Ghostzapper was relatively relaxed through a five-furlong work in 1:00.67, according to drf.com, and demonstrated a bit of mischievous enthusiasm during his gallop out, appearing to ask for more."
3 Irish War Cry.....Looking positive:
Per Paulick Report......Note, the work was at a training center in Maryland, Fair Hill.
"......was timed in 1:13.20 for six furlongs over the main track under jockey Rajiv Maragh, who drove down from New York for the breeze. Maragh and Irish War Cry teamed up for the first time to win the Wood Memorial (G2) April 8 at Aqueduct.
An interesting comment from trainer Motion: "It was almost an identical work, time-wise, although obviously we did it with Animal Kingdom at Churchill,” Motion said. “He needed to breeze at Churchill, Animal Kingdom. He'd never even run on the dirt. He probably never breezed on the dirt, so [we] felt it was really important that he had that one work at Churchill. With this horse, I thought it was more important that he stayed here, in this environment.”:

4) Fast and Accurate...Channing Hill takes the mount in the Big race...
This according to Paulick via drf.com:
"Also working at Churchill Downs on Sunday was G3 Spiral Stakes winner Fast and Accurate for trainer Mike Maker. Jockey Channing Hill was up for the five-furlong move, completed in 1:00.90 according to drf.com, and will have the mount on the son of Hansen in the Kentucky Derby."
