Big fan of how House of Silver has come around....but wow, that's not a really enticing bunch for a Grade I. Will pull for my guy just on principle.

My money will be on Passager. He would have won if not stopped in traffic late stretch 2 weeks ago. The quick return may be a good sign.

Clearly with Sam Houston cancelling their thoroughbred meet they re-located the $200,000 John Connally Turf (G3) to Keeneland and changed the name to the Maker's Mark Mile.

Thorn Song gets a freebie? Already a G1 winner over course and distance. If there is no other front-runners to push him, he'll be gone.

House of Silver can lay right there with him. Doesn't mean he can necessarily go on with him once the real running starts, but he's perfectly capable of keeping Thorn Song honest.

The Maker's Mark definately does not look like a G1, but looks to be a competitve race none the less.

Don't like Thorn Song coming off the break. And he won't get the lead all to himself. Fluke will be going out front.

Twilight Meteor has run 2 good races since coming back from a 10 month layoff. I like him in here.
