Morplay Racing's No More Time (Not This Time), winner of the GIII Sam F. Davis S. and narrow runner-up in the GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby, breezed a half-mile in :48.60 (8/52) Saturday morning at Palm Meadows Training Center in preparation for a planned start in the GI Kentucky Derby.
“He worked by himself. He went good and also had a strong gallop-out,” trainer Jose D'Angelo said. “Everything's good. We're hoping to get into the Kentucky Derby.”
Prior to Saturday's three major prep races at Santa Anita, Keeneland, and Aqueduct, No More Time, who has collected 45 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby, was sitting 15th in the standings that will determine the 20-horse field for the first leg of the Triple Crown at Churchill Downs.
“We're not just going to just run a horse there. We have a horse with a chance to win the race,” D'Angelo said.
