On a busy Tuesday morning, several notable thoroughbreds took to the track for their latest workouts. Among them were contenders for the prestigious Kentucky Derby 2025 and graded-stakes winners. These exercises provide valuable insights into the horses' current form and preparation for upcoming races. The performances varied, with some showing impressive speed over short distances while others demonstrated stamina over longer stretches. This update highlights the activities of Sandman, Dicey Mo Chara, Un Ojo, Tawny Port, Ocean Club, and Yo Yo Candy, each under the watchful eye of their respective trainers.

Sandman, currently ranked twelfth in points for the Kentucky Derby 2025, made his return to training after placing third in the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes on February 23rd. Under the guidance of trainer Mark Casse, this Tapit colt completed four furlongs at Oaklawn Park in 49.4 seconds. While not the fastest time among the 27 horses working at that distance, it was a solid performance considering Sandman's recent competition. Previously, he had secured second place behind Speed King in the Southwest (G3) stakes race. His early career included respectable finishes in the Iroquois (G3) and Street Sense races.

Dicey Mo Chara, known for winning the Grade 2 San Gabriel in 2022, put in a noteworthy effort at Santa Anita. Trainer Leonard Powell oversaw as Dicey Mo Chara covered four furlongs in 48.6 seconds, ranking sixth out of eleven horses at that distance. This workout followed an earlier one eleven days prior. In his most recent race, Dicey Mo Chara finished seventh in the San Marcos (G3), a turf event over 1¼ miles at Santa Anita on February 8th.

Un Ojo, who triumphed in the Grade 2 Rebel in 2022, trained at The Training Center At Copper Crowne. He clocked five furlongs in 1:03.5, coming in ninth out of fifteen horses. Seven days ago, he had worked four furlongs at the same facility. His last competitive appearance was an allowance race at Aqueduct on January 27th, where he placed third over a mile on the main track. Trainer Linda Rice has been guiding Un Ojo through these preparations.

Tawny Port, a two-time Grade 3 winner from 2022, showcased her abilities at Payson Park. She sprinted five furlongs in 1:02.8, faster than any other horse at that distance. Her previous workout was eight days ago, also covering five furlongs. Tawny Port's last race was the Sycamore (G3) at Keeneland on October 11th, where she finished sixth over 1½ miles on the turf. Trainer Christophe Clement continues to prepare Tawny Port for future challenges.

Ocean Club, a Grade 3 victor in the Noble Damsel in 2024, trained alone at Glen Hill Farm. She completed five furlongs in 1:03.4. Six days earlier, she had also worked five furlongs at the same location. In her latest race, Ocean Club placed sixth in the Endeavour (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs on February 1st, running 1⅛ miles on the turf. Trainer Jack Sisterson oversees her training regimen.

Yo Yo Candy, a Grade 3 winner in the 2023 Sanford, worked four furlongs in 49.3 seconds at Parx Racing. This time placed him eleventh out of eighteen horses at that distance. Seven days ago, he had similarly worked four furlongs. Yo Yo Candy's last race was a starter allowance event at Parx Racing on December 17th, where he came in second over 6½ furlongs on the main track. Trainer Daniel Velazquez manages Yo Yo Candy's training schedule.

The workouts conducted by these top-tier horses indicate their readiness for upcoming races. Each trainer is carefully preparing their charge, balancing speed and endurance to ensure peak performance when it counts. With the Kentucky Derby and various graded-stakes events on the horizon, fans and enthusiasts eagerly await the next chapter in these thoroughbreds' racing careers.
