Kenny McPeek's trainee galloped 1 ½ miles Thursday under exercise rider Helen Pitts, and the trainer said "she's doing fine." McPeek likes to handicap the races his horses are in but said he hadn't had a chance to look at the Daily Racing Form for Friday's Oaks. That's understandable - McPeek is training "60-some" horses, spread these days among Churchill Downs, Keeneland and New York. "We're just getting stronger and stronger," he said. "The quality of horses is better, too."

The bay filly Tempus Fugit is by Grade I Breeders' Cup Classic winner Alphabet Soup, the sire of five stakes winners including Hot Talent, Ladyecho, Prince Alphie and A B Noodle. She is out of the Quiet American mare Delight U.S.A., whose dam, Cuca's Lady, was a multiple stakes winner in New Jersey and is the dam of the stakes winners Scootin Girl and the graded stakes placed colt Spite The Devil. As a broodmare sire, Quiet American is the ire of 34 producing daughters and the stakes winners Whywhywhy and Lucky Sam. This filly's sire won the 10 furlong Breeders' Cup Classic (GI), and her female family is represented with two-turn black type. This miss won't have any problem staying a mile and an eighth, but the Kentucky oaks is an awfully tough spot to meet winners for he first time.
