Keeper Ofthe Stars gave trainer Jonathan Wong his first Grade 1 win in the Gamely.

First Saturday in May – Kentucky Derby, of course. Last Saturday in April – multi-stakes cards at Golden Gate and Pimlico, don’t you know? We’ll make stops at both those venues and look at the opening Saturday feature of the 2021 Belmont spring-summer meeting.

JOE DON LOONEY

Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4

This 3-year-old ran super in starter allowance sprint. Sped inside, hounded through quick pace, shook free into lane, collared late, finished more than five lengths clear of third.

Free: Despite short fields, Tizamagician, Cali Bay might be playable

A price of 8-5 on Tizmagician in the five-horse Tokyo City would make him a low-price overlay.

I’m really looking forward to a pair of Grade 3 stakes Sunday at Santa Anita. Horseplayers do enjoy sarcasm while betting four- and five-horse fields.

Brickyard Ride may or not be the best sprinter in California, but the speedball certainly is one of the quickest. Trouble is, only four horses entered the six-furlong Kona Gold Stakes, race 8 on Sunday. The favorite offers minimal value.
