6th at 1:37 pm ET / 10:37 am PT: $100k Chick Lang Stakes for 3yo going 6f
4-Quiet Invader ... bred to come off the Poly, comes in with bullets in 3 of the last 4 works (2 on dirt)
5-Latigo Shore … Zito’s 18% 2 off layoffs, also comes in with bullets in 3 of the last 4 works, deserves a clean trip for confidence alone
2-Gary D … steps up big time but he fits on backclass
start of the Pick 6!
7th at 2:17 pm ET / 11:17 am PT: $70k James Murphy Stakes for 3yo going 1 mi. (T)
5-Kera’s Kitten … solid tufer who seemed to get sidetracked on the Poly, just can’t get bogged down in a speed duel
7-Manhattan Fox … steps up in 3rd US start but cuts back to a distance he loves
11-Thunder Brew … looking for 3rd straight, will sit off the pace and be coming at the end
8th at 2:57 pm ET / 11:57 am PT: $100k G3 Schaeffer for 3&up going 1-1/16 mi.
7-Blame … win machine lately with a 25% jock/trainer win rate
9-Flying Private … flew up for 4th in last year’s Preakness, has been knocking on the door as of late
5-Edgewater … steps up against the best of his career, and has been running well with troubled trips
1-Bullsbay … never play against him in stakes - he’s worth the $6 to spend on a WPS ticket
9th at 3:42 pm ET / 12:42 pm PT: $100k G3 Gallorette Hcp for 3&up F&M going 1-1/16 mi. (T)
5-Quiet Meadow … now the lone speed of the race … Castellano’s gotta get her clear of the “3 wide curse” she’s had in 3 of her last 4
4-Rainbow View … even money favorite figures big here, but I’m not a fan of the 11% 2off45-180 Sheppard stat
1a-Blind Date … horse for the course
10th at 4:27 pm ET / 1:27 pm PT: $100k G3 Maryland Sprint Hcp for 3&up going 6f
7-Ravalo … loves Pimlico, loves the distance, in good enough to beat these
8-Taqarub … Kiaran’s been trying to teach this horse to rate for 2 years now to no avail - if he gets to the lead, there’s no looking back
1-Snapshot … training well coming into today, 20% jock/trainer win rate, and is logical against this bunch
11th at 5:12 pm ET / 2:12 pm ET: $200k G2 Dixie Stakes for 3&up going 1-1/8 mi. (T)
13-Nicanor … no, not because he’s Barbaro’s little bro … price will drop a bit from the 8-1 M/L, but he’s been training well coming into today, and Julien rode him wrong last out and Robby can keep him to task today
4-Just As Well … best turf trainer/jock combo in the country come in with an obviously talented horse who just needs to remember how to win
5-Forgotten Destiny … stretches out a bit, but he’s bred for it and he’s been on a roll as of late
12th at 6:12 pm ET / 3:12 pm PT: $1 million G1 Preakness Stakes for 3yo going 1-3/16 mi.
1-Aikenite … have loved this horse since the OBS Feb sale last year and have said all the way that he’s a Derby Trial-to-Preakness horse … wants the lead but doesn’t break well and the 1 hole is ok if Castellano has to take back - if he becomes a closer out of necessity, he figures to be the fastest of ‘em; Javier’s also 30% for Pletcher
7-Lookin At Lucky … I ain’t blaming GoGo but the last few rides have probably hurt his chances lately; he’s gutsy and will fight to get to the wire
8-Super Saver … never not include the Derby winner on a Preakness ticket … the horse has done nothing wrong and is absolutely logical
9-Caracortado … wise guy play and gets to come off the Poly again
13th at 7:12 pm ET / 4:12 pm PT: $28k Maiden for 3yo going 6f
5-Lacrosse Moon … Trombetta wins 28% with firsters
7-Devilish Gate … lone speed
