Despite what a university counselor could tell him, Journalism He is alive and well and the favorite to use the rose blanket while sunbathing on Saturday afternoon. Coach Michael McCarthy has put Curlin’s son and the mopotism on the track five times, the first in a special weight race in Santa Anita, where he crawled to a third party. Since then, he has won the four races, including three bets in Grade 2 the already Futury and San Felipe Stakes, and the Grade 1 of Santa Anita Derby a month ago.
He paid only $ 4.00 for his victory over the five horsse field in Santa Anita, but do not let the victory of a single period deceive you: he touched the journey of sausages imaginable, from the beginning in the place far in the final turn, and still had and still had a lot in the final. The victory in San Felipe was the same, like the Jockey Ubert Rispoli did enough to overcome the line by 1 3⁄4 In the field, but I didn’t need apterburners apparently in sacrifice. If Rispoli can find a transparent line of the eight holes, there must be a lot of volunteer speed when the section arrives.
Sovereignty It is the horse number 17, and brings as much closing speed as anyone in the field. Mount Junior Alvarado will do it due to a glacial rhythm, since he has as much closing speed as anyone. In his last three betting races it was not better than the fifth in the 3⁄4 Pole, but ended with two victories and a second in the Florida derby that fell short by almost a length.
They only have five leg winners of the 132 horses that have begun at the door no. 17 or more in Churchill Downs, so staying out of the way early and finding a good trip will be key to Bill Mott’s apprentice.

Citizen bull He goes for leadership from the rail and will try to flee and endure. In three of its last four Bull races, first to the pole of the room and the finish line, including a figure of 107 speeds in the bets Robert B. Lewis. But the most recent departure of the Breeders Cup winner of the 2024 Cup was the Santa Anita Derby, where he could not lead and finished 10 long for journalism in fourth.
There were several candidates for a scratch, and with Rodríguez, the beneficiary is John Shirrffs BaazaWho was the first alternative after finishing second in the Derby of Santa Anita. Baaza took three exits to break his maiden, but his fourth beginning in his career was a second place in the Santa Anita derby. A figure of 107 speeds in that race saw him finish only one head behind journalism in the cable.
