GI Arkansas Derby runner-up Silent Tactic (Tacitus) worked Sunday morning at Oaklawn Park and was joined by a fleet of Kentucky Oaks hopefuls as well with preparations continuing on the march to May.The Mark Casse trainee worked an easy half-mile over a fast track Sunday morning with regular rider Cristian Torres in the irons. Clocking an opening quarter-mile in :24.80, he covered the four furlongs in :49.40 (26/58) before galloping out five panels in 1:02.80 and six in 1:17.60. It was his final local breeze before shipping out to Churchill Downs.“Today, he just had a little easier work,” said assistant trainer Caden Arthur, who oversees Casse's Oaklawn division. “Next work will be a little more serious going into the Derby and that will be about nine, 10 days out. Silent's not so much the best work horse. He likes to show up in the afternoons. We like to see that.”Arthur said shipping plans were fluid for Silent Tactic, but that the colt could leave Wednesday with Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) and Search Party (Gun Runner), Casse's scheduled Oaks starters.Those aforementioned stablemates were also out Sunday morning to record half-mile works. The latter breezed just after the track opened under exercise rider Autumn Lavertu, clocking the distance in :48.60 (12/58) before galloping out in 1:01.80 and six furlongs in 1:16.40. Counting Stars went out immediately after the renovation break with Francisco Arrieta aboard, rolling through her paces in :48.20 (8/58) and galloped out in 1:01 flat and 1:15.20.“The girls, I thought, looked real good,” said Arthur. “Looks like they're ready to go.”Both fillies are scheduled to ship Wednesday and will have their final works in advance of the May 1 Oaks around Apr. 22.Plans for Arkansas Derby Third Taptastic Pending, Asmussen in No Rush to DecideHall of Famer Steve Asmussen has shipped his GI Arkansas Derby third Taptastic (Tapit) to Churchill Downs, but has not made any future plans yet.A one-mile maiden winner who wheeled back in 20 days for the Derby qualifier, the grey would be making only his third start no matter where he goes. As such, his conditioner plans to take his time deciding a future course with an eye on later in the year.“Came out of the race good,” Asmussen said. “Shipped him to Kentucky and undecided on what will be next for him. Obviously, we're very pleased with the two races he's put in. There's a lot of year left, so we'll take our time.”The post Kentucky Derby/Oaks Hopefuls Spotted on Track at Oaklawn Park appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
