Once you’re done below
Sprint
#1 – Zensational
The other “Zen” horse
Untouchable at one turn
They’ll have to catch him
#2 – Cost of Freedom
A Cal circuit vet
So-so after year-long break
Not gonna happen
#3 – Fatal Bullet
Last year’s runner up
Deadly in all-weather sprints
Could avenge his loss
#4 – Crown of Thorns
Ex-Derby dropout
Came back well from long layoff
Mark for exotics
#5 – Gayego
Godolphin purchase
Time in desert did him well
A serious threat
#6 – Dancing in Silks
A Cal-based sprinter
Lots of wins, but none graded
He’ll need to step up
#7 – Join in the Dance
Owner’s a baller
Bland on state derby circuit
Will need some magic
#8 – Capt. Candyman Can
Runs with heavy heart
Does best at seven panels
Can he scale it back?
#9 – Fleeting Spirit (IRE)
A Euro filly
Holds her own in open fields
An upset special?

ROX,
Another Michigan connection who won a BC race was Wayne Catalano, with Juvenile Fillies winner She Be Wild. Though he is not a Michigan native, Catalano was a successful jockey at the Detroit racetracks back in the day.
