#3 EL GATO MALO - Turned in a bullet best of 53 move on March 29 at Hollywood Park in final major work for the Santa Anita Derby. He breezed five furlongs at Hollywood Park in 59⁰ and the West coast clockers rarely give a ‘breezing’ notation so he must have been gliding over the ‘Cushion’. “He did it very easily, although another horse broke out in front of him, so that gave him an unexpected target,” trainer Craig Dollase said. “It was a little quicker than I wanted, but he was very willing, so it worked out OK. We’re right on schedule.”
