The Defense Rests worked an easy unofficial three furlongs this week at Belmont. Mike reports that he went well and cooled out fine after the work. Mike has been schooling him quite a bit at the gate. Everything looks good physcically, and this colt should be on a regular work schedule in short order. Mike wants to get him very comfortable with the gate now, so once he's fit, we can easily get his gate card and then run.
