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.

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.

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.
