First Resort tuned up for his 2025 debut with a four-furlong work at Turfway Park on Tuesday morning for trainer Eoin Harty.

The Uncle Mo colt breezed the half-mile in 51.2 seconds, seventh fastest of 10th at the distance.

First Resort is entered in Saturday’s John Battaglia Memorial, which offers 20-10-6-4-2 qualifying points for Kentucky Derby 2025.

In his most recent start, First Resort won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club to earn 10 Derby points. It was his second win in four career starts, which came at four tracks. He was listed at odds of 60-1 in Las Vegas Derby futures this week.

Eight days ago, he breezed five furlongs in a bullet 59.4 seconds, and a week before that, he went six furlongs in 1:14.0.
