Pam and Marty Wygod's Prospect Park (Tapit), off since a troubled fourth-place effort in the Apr. 4 GI Santa Anita Derby, prepped for his return in Saturday's GIII Affirmed S. with a five-furlong work in 1:01.60 at Santa Anita Sunday. “It was a little slow,” trainer Cliff Sise Jr. said of the work, “but he came home the last three-eighths in :36. He had some kind of viral thing going on in the Santa Anita Derby. Two days later he popped a temperature. He was flat. As soon as he went off in the post parade and he stayed with the pony, we knew we were in trouble. But this will be a good starting point back. He's doing great, fantastic.” Prospect Park was second behind Dortmund (Big Brown) in the Mar. 7 GII San Felipe S.
