Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Royal Heroine, Bachelor, Woodhaven

By Marcus Hersh

Barbara D. Livingston

Bergen's last start in the Gotham is a throw out. He will shorten back up to six furlongs in the Bachelor Stakes at Oaklawn Park.

This Saturday’s stakes racing is like the opening band on a seven-act bill. The headliners, in fact, aren’t coming out for another week.

Royal Heroine

This is the only graded race among the trio under consideration, and that, as much as an especially strong opinion, places it first on the weekly ledger.

Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Oaklawn Handicap, Danger's Hour, King T. Leatherbury

Red Route One wins New Orleans Classic March 23 2024

Barbara D. Livingston

Red Route One, winner of the New Orleans Classic in March, is at his best going 1 1/8 miles, the distance of the Oaklawn Handicap.

Keeneland is the boutique meet of the moment, and they do have two stakes Saturday. Bold Act is going to win the Elkhorn, but this space’s last foray into odds-on favoritism landed on Deterministic in the Wood. I don’t think Kingsbarns is going to win the Bel Ali but don’t know who will. Three other races at different venues feel more promising.
