Proud Spell jogged and galloped under trainer Larry Jones. Owner-breeder Brereton Jones said, "As we analyzed the situation, it just made more sense to run in the Oaks and to see Larry and Cindy (Jones) have the chance to do well in both races. They deserve to have everybody rooting for them. That had something to do with it. We’ve run against most of the other fillies that are in the race and so we have a line on them. We have not run against colts. Her Beyer and Ragozin numbers in Louisiana were superior to Pyro, who at the time was one of the early favorites for the Derby, but I’m a more conservative-type guy and running my filly against fillies was more reasonable."
