b. c. 3, Medaglia d’Oro – Dame Dorothy, by Bernardini
This weekend is quiet at Santa Anita, where the next significant action is a graded stakes quadruple-header April 30. Meantime, plenty of cross-country topics this week, from Oaklawn Park to Keeneland to Santa Anita and elsewhere . . .
Get lucky in the Count Fleet
As if Jackie’s Warrior’s needed help, recent history of the Grade 3 Count Fleet Handicap boosts the favorite’s chance to win the six-furlong race Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Few graded races are more predictable – Count Fleet favorites have won 13 of the past 20, including three by Whitmore.

Race 5
Kenny Peck's pick-five play at Keeneland for Saturday, April 9, 2022.
NASHVILLE (#5) again looks to be the dominant speed, as he was in that optional claimer at Fair Ground last time; will take them as far as he can, and he’ll be tough to catch if he’s once again unpressured from the start. Top pick O BESOS (#11) cuts back from routes and may be the one to fear late in his first start at this distance; he was moving well late in the Mineshaft last time out (3).
