R8 – G3 Pat Day Mile
#4 Uncontested (5-1) – Comes in off a bullet, picks up M. Smith, and ran huge in wet track at OP.
#8 Wild Shot (4-1) – Battle tested with a number of Derby starters and the cut back makes sense.
#13 Warrior’s Club (12-1) – Attempted to get on the Derby Trail, but this feels a better fit.

R9 – G2 American Turf (Turf 9F)
#9 Made You Look (6-1) – BEST BET – Glad to see him return to the grass and expecting to see his electric late kick here.
#4 Oscar Performance (7-2) – Decent return at KEE and now adds lasix. Best of his crop on the lawn last year.
#2 Big Score (6-1) – Draws well after coming off is biggest victory and should here from him in the late stages.
#10 Good Samaritan (5-1) – Put up some nice numbers last year and solid BC Juvy Turf effort (3rd).
R10 – G2 Churchill Downs
#2 Masochistic (5-2) – No secret what the game plan we be and there doesn’t seem anyone can run with him early.
#5 Clearly Now (6-1) – Looks to get a perfect stalking trip as he’ll try to reel in top choice.
#8 El Kabeir (6-1) – Could end up being a very useful one turn runner.
#13 Tom’s Ready (15-1) – Comes late and another one hoping Bluegrass Singer can apply pressure to top choice.
R11 – G1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (Turf 9F)
#2 Divisidero (4-1) – Defending champ just missed at KEE and Leparoux should secure a ground saving trip.
#7 World Approval (6-1) – One of the top American turfers in 2016 and got off to a positive start at Tampa.
#1 Kasaqui (Arg) (10-1) – Consistent performer must be considered for all slots.
#8 Beach Patrol (5-1) – Geroux will try to carve out sensible fractions and hope to hang on late.
R12 – G1 Kentucky Derby
#17 Irish War Cry (6-1) – If you excuse his FOY effort (Cuppy track) he’d be 2-1 here. Seems to being improving which is scary.
#11 Battle of Midway (30-1) – Gutsy front running effort in the SA Derby and expect Prat to give him a much better ride. HOF Hollendorfer flying under the radar.
#14 Classic Empire (4-1) – Liked the way the 2yr old champ bounced back when things weren’t going his way in the Arky Derby.
#19 Practical Joke (20-1) – Not crazy about the draw and he tends to hang, but boy can he pick up horses on the far turn.
#10 Gunnevera (15-1) – As consistent as any in the field and if they get silly up front watch him passed them by.
