Gonna completely fade
Forte. Yes, he is 6 for 7 lifetime with 3 G1 wins, with a great Belmont trainer, and the leading NYRA jockey in the irons.
His 3YO season hasn't quite gone to plan after the Florida Derby, and 2+ months away with 12F to roll? I actually think
Angel of Empire will contend for favoritism when the gates open.
Taking
Arcangelo to WP. His last 2 fit with anybody in here. Granted, he didn't smoke the Peter Pan field like he maybe should have, but it was a pedestrian pace in which he had to pass the entire field (albeit just 5 others).
Underneath I'll be using
Tapit Trice who should get a much better trip than he did in the Derby, and
Angel of Empire who runs an honest race every time out.
Don't mind
Hit Show as he ran a very nice race in the Derby. Also will include
Red Route One. He is simply a plodder, and could finish up 3rd/4th in here with what should be a much more honest pace than the Preakness.
