Premium Tap, Strong Contender work for Donn

Clark H. (G1) star PREMIUM TAP (Pleasant Tap)

and Super Derby (G2) hero STRONG CONTENDER (Maria's Mon) each worked five furlongs over Gulfstream Park's fast dirt on Sunday in

preparation for the $500,000 Donn H. (G1) on February 3.

Premium Tap logged five furlongs in 1:01

for conditioner John Kimmel. The five-year-old, who was third in the

Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) two prior, made his stakes debut a winning one in the

Albert the Great S. in early July. He would go on to capture the Woodward S.

(G1) and made his final start of 2006 an easy 7 1/4-length victory in the Clark.

Strong Contender sizzled a bullet five panels in :59 3/5 for trainer John

Ward, getting the best time of 16 workers at the distance. The chestnut

four-year-old geared up for the Donn with fifth-place finish in the Hal's Hope

H. (G3) on January 6. He was coming off a more than three-month break, having

previously captured the Super Derby by a length in his final start as a

three-year-old.
