"It was a nice, smooth work," said trainer Steve Asmussen, who is shuttling back and forth between Churchill Downs and Lone Star. "She's a really fast filly and she has had success here at Churchill Downs, so we are excited for the opportunity (to run in the Oaks. Her going three-quarters is always impressive; with the race a mile and an eighth, that's a bit of a concern, and we have to see how she responds after her first defeat." Lady Tak had her five-race unbeaten streak snapped by Elloluv in the April 5 Ashland at Keeneland. "That was pretty much it for serious preparation today," Asmussen said.
