Connemara
Ranger Heartley
Haimish Hy |
|
I like Connemara, trained by Todd Pletcher, who is making his 4th carrer start after finishing 2nd last out in the California Derby. He has 2 wins and a 2nd in 3 lifetime starts. Leading rider Russell Baze stays with Connemara and he got to know him last time which should help him this time out.

Off Kilter
Punch Up
|
|
Off Kilter has good connections. He made his first start on January 23. He is a 4 year old with only one start. He won impressively with a fast time in a maiden race. In this win, it was a 9 horse field of quality maidens and he exploded and won handily by 2 lengths with a very fast time. He’s a horse with a big future.

Fort Funston
Full Power Ahead
Taxi Fleet |
|
Fort Funston comes off a win in his last start. He has a fondness for the track. On the Tapeta he has 2 wins and a 2nd place finish. He will be in a good position the whole way. He likes winning and is from a good barn.

Single Reason
Winner in Overtime
Honour N Defer |
|
This race could have a hot pace. There should be ample enough pace to set up the horses I’ve picked. They should fall into a trifecta.

Shem
Sir Al (IRE)
Run It |
|
It’s a toss-up between Shem and Sir Al. Either could win.

Connemara
Thomas Baines
Our Minesweeper |
|
Connemara (#2) is my pick to win. He is undefeated, well-bred, and has one of the top trainers in the country. I’ve seen him run and he should have a bright future. He could be on the Derby trail if he keeps improving.

Tango Tango
Honour N Defer
Takehome Asouvenir |
|
Tango Tango, Takehome Asouvenir and Hetch will set a fast pace, but Honour N Defer will be strong in the end.
