read on samantha siegel facebook that he worked 6f in 1:11.4 under new jockey cornelio velesquez..

I think Rail Trip is extremely well-suited to the Dirt Mile (or even the Sprint), as long as he's healthy. From what I understand though, they want to run him in the Classic. I'll definitely be watching this race with some interest. Thanks for the update, btw.

PS - I had a ticket on Rail Trip to win the classic last year @ 80/1. Another one of those losing-ticket-by-injury scenarios, though it's doubtful he would've beaten Zenyatta anyway.

he might be like i want revenge and just have another gear on the dirt...lookin at lucky is another horse that improves on dirt..even though they did not move him to the east for that excuse it might still be true...I have not really been a fan of this horse because i think this horse is better at a mile....agree with you for the mile or sprint...
