This New York-bred allowance turf sprint looks very wide open. The favorite, whoever that may be, is likely to be lukewarm, as most of the major players are returning from layoffs with inconsistent prior form.

Apple Blossom

Letruska won this race a year ago by a nose over Monomoy Girl, and she’ll be favored, likely at odds-on. Letruska, who likes to lead, appears to have a significant pace advantage and will widely be expected to return to top form in her second start this season.
