- Doubts Dispelled
Reports of Colonel John's disdain for dirt may have been exaggerated. The Tiznow colt worked five furlongs in :57.61 and galloped out six furlongs in 1:10.99 over the fast Churchill track. "At the moment it doesn't look like the work took a lot out of him," said trainer Eoin Harty. "He got a good blow but he appears to be well back to himself" (DRF). Also on the worktab were Adriano (five furlongs in 1:00.80), Court Vision, Z Humor, and Eight Belles. I'll leave it to Ed to report from the scene on how everyone looked.
