Majestic Warrior schooling in the paddock at Saratoga (Jessie Holmes)

Majestic Warrior is entered in this weekend’s Derby Trial Stakes, a 7 1/2 F stakes at Churchill.

While others thought perhaps he was merely precocious after his (lack of a) performance in the Florida Derby, I want to see him cut back before I make up my mind (in the comments, because I didn’t post this sentiment on my own blog… why would I do something crazy like that?).

I haven’t looked at the past performance but there are definitely some interesting entrants. Perhaps we’ll be seeing some future milers?

Majestic Warrior’s been working consistently at Payson and just put in a nice 3F at Churchill (36 B 2/12). Best of luck to him, I know my jaw dropped when I saw him in the Hopeful.
