Daily Derby report: Same old, same old from Pletcher quartet

Audible, Magnum Moon, Noble Indy, and Vino Rosso had their penultimate day of training Thursday before starting Saturday in the Kentucky Derby. Nothing out of the ordinary, with trainer Todd Pletcher probably saying today's gallops were over 1 5/16 miles rather than the 1 3/8 the last three days just to have some fun. The gallops all came at a moderate tempo similar to Wednesdays, and Pletcher said he remains pleased with all four of his Derby starters. The whole group schooled in the paddock Wednesday, and all paddock schooling and gate schooling for the Derby is finished. The horses will train at 5:45 Friday during the special window reserved for Derby and Oaks runners, and then get ready to rumble.
