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.

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.
