Loooch Racing Stable's War Story (Northern Afleet) tuned up for the Mar. 28 GII Louisiana Derby with a bullet five-furlong work at Fair Grounds in :58.80. “He came out of the work fine,” trainer Tom Amoss reported. “That'll be our last breeze before we run. We worked him about the same amount of days out from the [Feb. 21 GII] Risen Star and he ran well. We got on the track [Wednesday morning] when it was at its best; it was very quick and he was one of the first on it, plus he had a workmate. Joe Talamo will be in to ride for the race.” War Story was a rallying second behind International Star (Fusaichi Pegasus) in both the Jan. 17 GIII LeComte S. and the Risen Star.
