This is a day mostly devoted to Maiden Watch graduates, as we have three grade I's and two allowances. And, just so the name of the blog doesn't have to change, maiden tries for Frosty Diamond (Medaglia d'Oro) and Chattertown (Speightstown). Plus, a grade I result for Be Smart (Smarty Jones) and a maiden result for Noble Rule (Peace Rules).

Katolak Cowboy who finished 7th in his debut on April 20, becomes our first return runner. He will again try 2 furlongs at Woodbine. Three of his opponents are back, Tin Pan Alley Cat who finished 5th, Player's List who was 8th, and Can'tstopthiscat who finished 3rd.

Curly was pushed wide, wide, wider than Big Brown in the Derby (officially 7 wide). Amazingly, Curly kept coming and coming.
