Trainer Bill Mott's barn sent out a pair of Classic aspirants Thursday morning, including Emily Bushnell & Ric Waldman's GII Wood Memorial winner Resilience (Into Mischief) along with George Krikorian's GI Ashland S. runner-up Just F Y I (Justify) returned to the work tab to continue their preparations for the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Kentucky Oaks, respectively. The duo began their work together at 7:30 a.m. ET after galloping about one mile. The defending champion juvenile filly Just F Y I worked to the outside of Resilience and began one-length behind. By the quarter-pole, Just F Y I moved about a length in front of Resilience but, by the wire, the duo finished together. Resilience, who covered four furlongs in :50.2, finished his five-furlong gallop out in 1:02.80 while Just F Y I went four panels in :50 flat, galloping out in 1:03.40, according to Churchill Downs Clocker John Nichols. “I thought [Resilience] had a great trip in the Wood Memorial,” Mott said. “I thought Johnny [Velazquez] rode him great. He might have gotten a little jammed up on the first turn but got clear down the backside. When he asked him, he responded and he finished up well. The best part is he looked good visually. Resilience is out of Meadowsweet (Smart Strike), a daughter of MGISW Tranquility Lake (Rahy) and a half-sister to Grade I scorers Courageous Cat (Storm Cat) and After Market (Storm Cat). “The entire family of this horse has been very accomplished on the racetrack. Part of the family is Courageous Cat, who I trained for a Grade I win [in the Shoemaker Mile]. The owners have been in the breeding business a long time and Resilience is just the result of their program.” Resilience was bred in Kentucky by Pam and the late Marty Wygod, the parents of Bushnell. This would be the first starter in the Kentucky Derby for the Wygod family along with Waldman, a longtime partner of the Wygods. Resilience and Just F Y I are stabled in Mott's Barn 19.

Sheikh Abdullah Almalek Alsabah's battle-hardened Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}–Hard Walnut {Ire}, by Cape Cross {Ire}) had twice chased home City Of Troy (Justify) in juvenile pattern races last term and, while tipping his hat to that old foe, threw down a Classic marker of his own with a hugely impressive 3 1/2-length triumph in Thursday's one-mile G3 bet365 Craven S. at Newmarket. The Richard Hannon trainee broke on the front end and was restrained to accept a tow in an overall third before inching into second passing halfway. Thundering forward to seize control approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 17-2 chance surged clear in taking fashion up the hill to easily outpoint G1 Dewhurst S. third Eben Shaddad (Calyx {GB}) by daylight. Jane Chapple-Hyam's once-raced trainee Sons And Lovers (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}) ran on well in the closing stages and finished 2 1/4 lengths adrift in third. Baron Eduoard de Rothschild's G3 Prix Thomas Bryon victor and G1 Criterium International runner-up Alcantor (Fr) (New Bay {GB}) raced too freely through the early fractions, making little impression at the business end, and crossed the line in sixth. Haatem had already made three visits to the track before running fifth in Royal Ascot's G2 Coventry S. and was City Of Troy's closest pursuer when a 6 1/2-length second in July's G2 Superlative S. at Newmarket. Back on song for Goodwood's G2 Vintage S. next time, he ran unplaced in two subsequent Group 2 contests and closed out a nine-race freshman campaign with a fifth behind City Of Troy, once more, and Eben Shaddad in October's G1 Dewhurst S. over the final seven furlongs of this Rowley Mile last time. Pedigree Notes Haatem is the fifth of six foals and one of three scorers out of a dual-winning half-sister to G3 Premio Carlo Vittadini and G3 Premio del Giubileo runner-up Father Frost (Ire) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}) and Listed Prix Pelleas, Listed Doncaster Mile and Listed Foundation S. placegetter Born To Be Alive (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}). His second dam Yaria (Ire) (Danehill), herself a daughter of G1 Phoenix S. runner-up Yara (Ire) (Sri Pekan), is a winning sibling of dual stakes scorer Emirates Gold (Ire) (Royal Applause {GB}), Listed Prix Melisande victrix Yarastar (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) and the stakes-placed Yario (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Haatem, half-brother to a yearling filly by Inns Of Court (Ire), hails from the family of G1SW sires Homme De Loi (Ire) (Law Society) and Mister Majestic (Ire) (Tumble Wind). Thursday, Newmarket, Britain BET365 CRAVEN S.-G3, £85,000, Newmarket, 4-18, 3yo, c/g, 8fT, 1:35.09, gd. 1–HAATEM (IRE), 128, c, 3, by Phoenix Of Spain (Ire) 1st Dam: Hard Walnut (Ire), by Cape Cross (Ire) 2nd Dam: Yaria (Ire), by Danehill 3rd Dam: Yara (Ire), by Sri Pekan (€28,000 RNA Wlg '21 GOFNO1; 27,000gns Ylg '22 TATOCT).
