Jeremy Noseda has reported Awesome Act to have come out of
his victory at Aqueduct in great form and the Kentucky Derby
remains on the agenda.

Blazing Bailey may have earned himself a shot at the Coral Scottish
Grand National after a belated maiden victory over fences at
Leicester.
With just three rivals, there was little in the way of opposition for
Alan King's gelding in the Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting
Guide 2010 Novices' Chase but this was his most encouraging
effort for some time.
Blazing Bailey's best moment came when winning the Grade One
staying hurdle at Punchestown in 2008 but he became something of a disappointment.
He popped over the first like a puissance showjumper and Robert Thornton had to deliver a couple of reminders along the way but the eight-year-old took charge down the long home straight and came five lengths clear as the 5-6 favourite.

Dick Francis, the champion jockey turned best-selling thriller writer,
has died at the age of 89.
Writer Dick Francis, famous for his horse racing-based crime
novels, has died aged 89, his family has said.
Francis, who wrote more than 40 best-selling novels during his
career, was also a champion jockey in the 1940s and 50s and the
Queen Mother's jockey.
He first published his autobiography in 1957, and his first thriller,
Dead Cert, followed five years later.
Francis's most recent works, including Dead Heat and Silks, were co-authored by his son Felix.
Kalahari King continued his build up to the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase with another seaside outing to Redcar.
Trainer Ferdy Murphy is keen to offer the smart two-miler plenty of variety in his regime with less than two weeks until his big day.
Murphy, who is based at West Witton in North Yorkshire, used the same beach for some of Kalahari King's preparation when his gallops were hit by the cold snap.
But an impressive win by the gelding on his comeback under top weight in a handicap at Doncaster showed the weather had no impact and he is only behind dual winner Master Minded in the Champion Chase betting.
