Blackout Time (Not This Time), most recently fourth in the GII Rebel Stakes, tuned up for an expected start in the Mar. 28 GI Arkansas Derby with a bullet four-furlong drill in :47.00 (1/90) at Oaklawn Park Saturday.

Under retired jockey Robby Albarado, Blackout Time worked with stablemate Gould's Gold, a 5-year-old stakes winner who is entered in the Mar. 21 GIII Essex Handicap. Clockers caught Blackout Time in :24.20 for his opening quarter-mile and galloping out five furlongs in :59.60 and six furlongs in 1:13.40.

“Everything is still on track for the Arkansas Derby,” co-owner Lance Gasaway said in a text message Sunday morning.

Blackout Time was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star presented by Hagyard' following his 9 3/4-length maiden victory at Ellis Park last August. He concluded his juvenile campaign with a runner-up effort behind champion Ted Noffey in the Oct. 4 GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity.
