Clever Again, trained by Steve Asmussen and sired by American Pharoah, is a promising contender following his impressive performances, including a win at the Hot Springs Stakes with a Beyer Speed Figure of 101. Meanwhile, American Promise, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, looks to bounce back after a disappointing race at the Kentucky Derby.
Goal Oriented (6-1), who has won both of his races, adds excitement to the mix and is trained by respected trainer Bob Baffert.
