ATLANTIC OCEAN/SANTA CATARINA - The Bob Baffert-trained fillies, their serious work now over, had a light schedule Tuesday morning. Atlantic Ocean just walked the shedrow after drilling a half-mile in :47 4/5 on Monday morning. Santa Catarina, who worked five furlongs in 1:01 1/5 on Sunday, was out for an easy gallop. Atlantic Ocean has won two of her three stakes starts this year with David Flores aboard, and the veteran has the call again Friday. Santa Catarina, who is returning to the good form she showed last summer, will be ridden by Gary Stevens.

BIRD TOWN/HOLIDAY LADY - Exercise rider Maxine Correa galloped each Nick Zito trainee 1 ¼ miles today. Zito said he hadn't decided whether to paddock Bird Town, the Beaumont Stakes runner-up, and Holiday Lady, the Ashland Stakes show horse. "If I do, it'll be on Thursday," he said. Zito traveled to Lexington yesterday to start closing up his stable at Keeneland. He's taking all the Kentucky horses back to New York at the end of the week.

ELLOLUV - Calling himself a "hands-on" kind of person, trainer Craig Dollase hot-walked his Ashland Stakes winner himself after she galloped once around the track under exercise rider Enrique Alferez. Dollase was asked how Elloluv looked in comparison to this time before the Ashland. "She's just as good - or better," he said. Dollase said he would school Elloluv in the paddock again tomorrow. Like fellow Oaks trainers Nick Canani and Beau Greely, Dollase is the son of a horseman - father Wally will saddle Ten Most Wanted in the Derby. Craig said he's been working around horses since he was a kid growing up on a horse farm in Northern California. Two of Craig's three sisters also work in the business. Sister Aimee is an assistant to her father; sister Michelle, who is married to jockey Corey Nakatani, runs a layup business.

GO FOR GLAMOUR - Trainer Beau Greely said his Santa Anita Oaks and Ashland Stakes show horse came back in great shape from her half-mile work in :46 2/5 yesterday. "She ate up and everything," he said. "I put the entry in." Greely, 31, has been a trainer for six years but he's been around horses since he was born - he's a fourth-generation horseman. "Soon as I could clean a stall I was at it," he said. Go for Glamour will jog tomorrow, gallop Thursday and jog Friday morning. "She's ready to run," he said.

IN CASE OF WIND - With exercise rider Mark Fuchs up, In Case of Wind galloped a mile and a half at Trackside, going the last 5/8ths at a "two-minute lick." "She came off the racetrack bouncing," trainer Bill Million said. "She's feeling good. It looks like we might be coming into the race the way we want to be."

ISLAND FASHION - Everest Stables' Island Fashion walked the shedrow, 24 hours after she worked a half-mile in a fast :46 1/5. "She's great," trainer Nick Canani said. Canani, son of Southern California trainer Julio Canani, talked about growing up in the business. "I've been going to the barn since I could walk," he said. "I worked for my dad every weekend, every summer, when I was a kid. I'd fly to Chile with horses - I was about 14. I spent a summer in France when I was 16." Now 29, Canani said he went out on his own when he was 20 or 21. "I started with one horse," he said, "and I've been as high as up to 35. I've got 12 now. It fluctuates a little bit." This is Canani's first Oaks. "It should be fun," he said.

LADY TAK - Fair Grounds Oaks winner Lady Tak walked the shedrow a day after working a half-mile in :49. Trainer Steve Asmussen reported everything was well with Lady Tak, who had her unbeaten streak snapped at five with a runner-up finish to Elloluv in the Ashland on April 5. Jerry Bailey will ride in the Oaks.

MY BOSTON GAL - Ian Wilkes, assistant to trainer Carl Nafzger, said My Boston Gal was on her normal routine, which meant walking the shedrow. My Boston Gal had worked five-eighths in 1:00 on Sunday and then jogged Monday. Pat Day will ride My Boston Gal in the Oaks.

TEMPUS FUGIT - Trainer Kenny McPeek decided shortly before entries were due this morning to enter his allowance filly Tempus Fugit in the Oaks. "I decided to because she's gone a mile and an eighth already," McPeek said, "and I'm not totally impressed by what's gone into the race." Tempus Fugit worked Monday, going a half-mile in :47.

YELL - Yell, fourth last out in the Ashland Stakes, galloped 1 ½ miles at Belmont Park under regular exercise rider Donna McMullan. "She's doing great," trainer Shug McGaughey said. Yell has a 1 p.m. flight from New York to Louisville tomorrow. McGaughey said she'll gallop again before shipping.
