Default Spring Classics Stuff........

In the last 15 years the trainer with the most Triple Crown(races)victories isn't Bob Baffert..........it's Todd Pletcher with 5.
Going back 15 years again,the jockey with the most wins is Victor Espinoza.........he also has 5.
The only other jockey in the 15 year window to win each Triple Crown race at least once is Kent D..........Big Brown[KD/PRK]-Exaggerator[PRK]-Summer Bird[BEL].
Say what you want about Kent D,he's still very good when the lights shine brightest.............so is Victor come to think of it.
Don't be afraid to play a Colt who has a speed friendly sire type........3 of the last 4 Derby winning Stallions fit that bill: Lucky Pulpit/Uncle Mo/Bodemeister.
In the Belmont just look for a Tapit runner............he's sired 3 of the last 4 winners(with a runner-up in the other year....Frosted).
Todd Pletcher has to be considered the ultimate Stallion maker,he's trained the sire of 3 of the last 6 Derby winners...........but one of the Stallions very few people realize he trained.
