The Word On Resilience
April 7: Closed a 99-1 longshot in the Kentucky Derby futures pool 6 ahead of his win at the Wood Memorial
April 18: Finished his five-furlong gallop workout in 1:02.80 — ahead of Just F Y I (1:30.40)
“I thought (Resilience) had a great trip in the Wood Memorial,” trainer Bill Mott said. “I thought Johnny (Velazquez) rode him great.
He might have gotten a little jammed up on the first turn but got clear down the backside. When he asked him, he responded and he
finished up well. The best part is he looked good visually.”
Apr. 27: Opened at 20-1 on the morning line, running out of Post 19.
