Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Royal Heroine, Bachelor, Woodhaven

By Marcus Hersh

Barbara D. Livingston

Bergen's last start in the Gotham is a throw out. He will shorten back up to six furlongs in the Bachelor Stakes at Oaklawn Park.

This Saturday’s stakes racing is like the opening band on a seven-act bill. The headliners, in fact, aren’t coming out for another week.

Royal Heroine

This is the only graded race among the trio under consideration, and that, as much as an especially strong opinion, places it first on the weekly ledger.
