"The Defense Rests worked an extremely easy four furlongs in 53:81 on Saturday at Belmont over the training track. Mike wanted him to go slow by design as we sought to beat the weather. We are ready to start increasing the intensity of his training. Mike will start asking him for more speed in his works as we move forward. He looks fabulous and is moving well." UPDATE he worked 4F today in 50:44 40 of 72
