Top Pick: #7 Zulu Kingdom (5-1) - Zulu Kingdom has four races under its belt and won three, all by a neck, including the Columbia Stakes in March. It was an impressive tactical performance. Jockey Flavien Prat couldn't give this horse a breather down the backside because Dream On was right off Zulu Kingdom’s flank. Prat will be atop this Chad Brown horse again.
2nd Pick: #3 New Century (7-2) - New Century got a pair of Grade 1 winners last year at the Summer and Stonehenge Stakes. However, in the previous two races, the horse has finished fifth and fourth, including at the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. This will be the longest race of his career.
3rd Pick: #5 Test Score (10-1) - Test Score finished strong late last year and has been very good in two races in 2025. Stretched out to 1 1/6-miles last month, Test Score won the Transylvania Stakes with jockey Manny Franco, who will ride in this one. That came after finishing third in the Kitten's Joy, also at 1 1/6-miles.
