Colonel John was out at 8:40AM for his 1 3/4 mile gallop with WinStar Farm officials looking on. Trainer Eoin Harty said, "It's the way he moves and the way he carries himself out there. He doesn't seem to get bothered or rattled by anything. He's certainly traveling very well and he seems to get stronger the further he gallops. These are all positive signs and you've got to hang your hat on every positive sign like that."
