Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Hollywood Derby, Go for Wand, Maryland Juvenile Fillies

Bank Sting wins the Heavenly Prize at Aqueduct on March 5. She worked five furlongs on Saturday at Belmont for the May 14 Ruffian Stakes.

We’d love to highlight the richest North American race between the Breeders’ Cup and the Pegasus World Cup, the $750,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct, but that’s not happening. Seven were entered, six at most will start, and two are trained (all due respect) by Norman “Lynn” Cash. That is not a vintage Cigar Mile, and the two favorites, Zandon and Mind Control, look formidable.
