The early speed, A Little Warm, held second while Drosselmeyer was third after an "adventurous" ride under Kent Desormeaux..

Mission Impazible is now securely in the Derby while A Little Warm is sitting on the edge. The $82,500 that Drosselmeyer earned is likely not enough to get him to Louisville. Same with LeComte winner Ron the Greek.

In other Derby prep action, Dean's Kitten won the Grade 3 Lane's End Stakes at Turfway (chart). The Michael Maker trainee earned $291,000 in graded earnings for his victory and is in good position to make the Derby.
