Update: Behindatthebar is a late scratch. I’m slotting Gayego into the triple.
This race is a touch shorter than the Derby and has a smaller field. Plus, the quality of these horses is not as strong as at that race. It stands to reason that Big Brown is going to win here, even if he has a drop-off. The challenge for him is going to be at the Belmont Stakes. Here are my picks:
Take the trifecta box on:
Big Brown
Hey Bryn
Gayego
Take Icabad Crane as your longshot to win.
