In my mind there is no doubt that Honey Ryder is the best horse in the race. With that said, 1 3/16 is probably not her best distance. She was all out to get up at 1 1/4 last year in the Flower Bowl and it wasn't until the last 3/16 of the Sheepshead Bay before she was rolling. Gomez will have to put her into the race a bit earlier, but given that the pace should be hot, they may be coming back to her just enough to set up that late run.

The other one worth considering would have to be Lady of Venice. With so much focus on Citronnade, Irridescence, and Honey Ryder, LOV has a great chance to be fourth choice at somewhere around 5 or 6-1. That makes her a very interesting prospect because the pace will be good for her as well. Can't like Jennie or the McLaughlin recent allowance winner, but I really wouldn't be surprised if any of the other five are in the mix when the running starts.
