Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (ACME BOMB) - Race looks like a two-horse affair pitting trainer's Wesley Ward against Todd Pletcher, a pair that are both known for two-year-old success. This filly by the speedy "Henny Hughes" was prepared at Calder before shipping north and has a sharp half-mile breeze at Keeneland since arriving in Kentucky. The top pick.

2nd pick: #1 (Tippy Toes) - Pletcher trained daughter of "D'wildcat" trained at Palm Meadows for her debut and has a half-mile drill from the gate April 29th on this surface. Has the rail and stable rider Johnny V. is aloft.

3rd pick: #3 (Bucktown) - Good barn (Bernie Flint) had this Louisisna-bred daughter of "Leestown" work a sharp half-mile from the gate here April 21st that indicates she has some speed. Must be left in the mix, and at a nice price.
