Top Pick: #8 Greenwich Village (6-1) - Bob Baffert's 3-year-old colt has won two straight. Greenwich Village took the 2026 Pasadena Stakes the last time out by a nose after falling behind early. In the previous outing, he won the 2026 Baffle Stakes after breaking slowly and trailing the field, making up four lengths in the final sixteenth. Jockey Juan Hernandez rode both times and will be atop again.
2nd Pick: #4 Stark Contrast (4-1) - Flavien Prat rides Stark Contrast, a horse that finished second in the Jeff Ruby Steaks the last time out, as well as second in the Grade 1 2025 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
3rd Pick: #12 Remember Mamba (9-2) - Remember Mamba has been in three races, winning them all. He took the 1 1/16 mile Transylvania Stakes four weeks ago, with a powerful home stretch despite being bumped at the start. Jockey Jose Ortiz remarked, "He keeps getting better and better, and he faced better company."
