Patena works for Louisiana Derby

"When we got him here we wanted to go to work on some hind-end issues and try

to help him put some weight on," Dutrow said Saturday morning. "He had been

coughing for about 10 days. Today was the first day he scoped completely clean.

We've been clearing different issues, and it seems to all be coming together."

Exercise rider/jockey Mario Madrid was aboard for the breeze, which Gulfstream clockers caught in 1:15 3/5.

"Mario told me that he pulled him to every pole this morning," Dutrow said.

"He was very happy with him. We've got one more breeze to go here and then we

will fly to New Orleans on the 12th. I'm under the impression we are right on

target."

Dutrow sent out This Ones for Phil before the sun was up for a blowout

through the stretch ahead of his highly anticipated run in Saturday's one-mile

test.

"I got him out there before anybody could see him," Dutrow said. "He's

great."

Dutrow expects jockey Edgar Prado and This Ones for Phil to get a great trip

just off the expected fast pace of the Fountain of Youth.

When asked if the gelding could be keyed up early by stretching out from his

victory in the six-furlong Sunshine Millions Dash last time out, Dutrow points

to the rapport between horse and rider and smiles.

"Edgar gets on him and it looks like they are best friends," he said. "I

can't see them getting in any arguments now."
