Top Pick: #5 Hughes (1-1) - Bob Baffert's 2-year-old colt has dazzling speed numbers and results - four wins in four races. He took the Grade 1 American Pharaoh Stakes four weeks ago in a dominant win at 1 1/16 miles. He posted a 100 Beyer Speed Figure, the highest Beyer posted by a 2-year-old this year at one mile or more.
2nd Pick: #6 American History (9-2) - If anyone is going to give Hughes a run for the money, it's this horse. American History is 2-for-2, capturing the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity last month despite a slow opening break, winning by one length over 7-10 favorite Coach Pope.
3rd Pick: #7 Coach Pope (4-1) - Coach Pope has speed and power, but is a little short on experience, finishing second twice and first once.
