Countdown to the Crown returns for a seventh season online as one of the most comprehensive handicapper’s scouting reports of the 3-year-old scene. Posted each Friday at DRF.com from Jan. 6 through the Belmont Stakes, Countdown keeps you apprised of the rising stars of the 3-year-old class.
When it comes to handicapping Saturday’s Coolmore Lexington Stakes, accepted handicapping criteria such as speed, class, and form are trumped by interpreting who will like the Polytrack surface at Keeneland.
The major Kentucky Derby preps might be over, and it might be two weeks until Derby Day, but that doesn’t mean that the 3-year-olds have temporarily relinquished the stakes spotlight, because they haven’t. Two of the biggest stakes on Saturday’s schedule – the Grade 2, $200,000 Jerome at Aqueduct and the Grade 3, $200,000 Coolmore Lexington at Keeneland – are for 3-year-olds.
Welcome to Keeneland Babies! I'll break down the statistics for every juvenile contest at the meet.
Read Michael Hammersly's Trip Notes report, which includes recaps of all the weekend's top stakes races. These include the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park, and the Charles Town Classic.
Considering all of the heavy-hitters in this division, Went the Day Well may be somewhat ignored leading up to the first Saturday in May.
