This weekend features the Doubledogdare on Friday at Keeneland and the Coolmore Lexington on Saturday as well as two graded stakes races on the grass at Santa Anita and one stakes race at Pimlico.
Keeneland
The Doubledogdare S. (G3)
1. Pachattack
2. Principal Role
3. La Gran Bailadora
The Doubledogdare features the return of Pachattack who finished a really good third in last years Breeders Cup Ladies Classic, I think she will get the job done on Friday. Principal Role is making her first start in the United States, she has been very consistent in Europe so I look for her to continue that trend on Friday. La Gran Bailadora should enjoy the added distance but is probably not good enough to get there. I think Joyful Victory has regressed from last year will be too short of a price. Kathmanblu makes her first start of the year she got off track last year and has the oppurtunity to get back on track on friday.
The Coolmore Lexington (G2)
1. Holliday Road
2. News Pending
3. Gold Megillah
The Coolmore Lexington is the last race on the Derby Trail. The favorites will be Morgan's Guerilla and Castaway, I do not like either. I love Holliday Road who took a huge step forward on the poly track last time in the Spiral. I think News Pending will rebound as well, I think the polytrack will suit him. Gold Megillah can't seem to get a good trip I think he will on saturday and should run a good race.
Santa Anita
The San Simeon (G3)
1. Compari
2. Irish Art
3. California Flag
Santa Barbara (G2)
1. Vamos a Galupiar
2. Cambina
3. Capital Plan
Pimlico
The Dahlia
1. Master Shade
2. Idle Talk
3. Coco Ecolo
