His two big Derby contendors had opposite fortunates on the dirt recently, with Shamardal running as if something was amiss (or as if he was just really out of shape) in the UAE Derby, and Noble Causeway running a fine second in the G1 Florida Derby.
His other dirt runners:
April 1st Turfway Park 1 1/16 dirt MSW --> Finn Maccunaill, Drkbbr C, Fontemar (Babor) finished a non-threatening 6th
Mar 26th Turfway Park 6f MSW --> Cause He's Irish, Drkbbr C, Irish Linnet (Seattle Song) --> 7th in a race probably a bit short for him
