Weekend GamePlan for April 16, 2022: Picks for Lexington, Giant's Causeway, and Heavenly Cause

Lou Hodges Jr./Hodges Photography
Call Me Midnight rallies to a head victory in the Jan. 22 Lecomte. Trainer Keith Desormeaux skipped the Risen Star with him but is on target for the March 26 Louisiana Derby.

Unless we’re taking a time capsule back to 2014, when what is now the Pat Day Mile on Kentucky Derby Day was run as the Derby Trial the week before the Derby, Saturday, April 16, puts a lid on Kentucky Derby prep season.

The Lexington is the last points race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, and while the best horses racing Saturday at Keeneland are in the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley, that race won’t make this weekend’s list of three plays. I do favor Regal Glory over Shantisara in the Jenny Wiley, only because of recency and distance, but both will be very short prices.
