West Point Thoroughbreds' MACHO AGAIN (Macho Uno), who failed to fire in his second attempt on Polytrack in the Lane's End S. (G2) at Turfway Park last month, appreciated the return to dirt on Saturday at Churchill Downs, overtaking 5-2 favorite Kodiak Kowboy (Posse) in the final furlong to take the $115,200 Derby Trial S. by a half-length.

MAJESTIC WARRIOR (A.P. Indy), winless since a scintillating 2 1/4-length victory in the Hopeful S. (G1) at Saratoga, will attempt to return to his winning ways in Saturday's $100,000 Derby Trial S. at Churchill Downs. The opening-day feature will feature 10 sophomores, and the 7 1/2-furlong distance might favor Majestic Warrior, who captured the Hopeful over seven furlongs.
