Now we’re talking. Headed by Keeneland’s blockbuster card, and with multi-stakes programs at Aqueduct and Santa Anita, we have before us the best Saturday of racing so far this year.
At Keeneland, Pleasant Passage in the Appalachian and Run Classic in the Commonwealth just missed the cut here. And at Santa Anita, Awake At Midnyte trying her first turf sprint in the Monrovia held appeal. But let’s just focus on a trio of Kentucky Derby preps.

This nine-furlong optional claimer may have only attracted six runners, but it’s one of the most intriguing races of the day. Todd Pletcher has entered a pair of colts coming off lengthy layoffs. Commandperformnance (#2) was one of the top 2-year-olds of 2021, finishing second in the Grade 1 Champagne. Yet he just never panned out as an older horse and needs to improve significantly in this comeback performance.

Comeback turf sprinter ran super making first start in 10 months. Chased hot pace, fought back inside, finished more than three lengths clear. Should handle non-winners of three starter next time out.
