Top Pick: #2 Crazy Mason (9-2) - Crazy Mason has raced exclusively in sprint events since returning to action in November. This 4-year-old colt has won three straight at six and seven furlongs. Crazy Mason won the Grade 2 Carter with a dynamic last-to-first charge with Manuel Franco aboard for the first time, who will be atop again.
2nd Pick: #6 Mullikiin (2-1) - Mullikiin had the last post (11th) that contributed to a poor run the last time out at the Churchill Downs Stakes. This is a far less crowded field, and Mullikiin had run first, second, or third in the previous six races.
3rd Pick: #5 Book'em Danno (5-2) - This horse looks to bounce back from finishing fourth at the Grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes. It was a packed race on a sloppy track. Previously, he won the Boston Handicap by 2 1/2 lengths over Repo Rocks. Book'em Danno ran twice at Saratoga in 2024, finishing third in the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial while winning the Grade 1 Woody Stephens, both at 7 furlongs.
