He did break maiden at first asking and did follow that with two straight minor stakes scores - the Juvenile Sprint Stakes at Gulfstream Park West November 8 and the Smooth Air Stakes on that same track November 29.Mr.Jordan has been a factor in every race of his career so far and should be again Sunday. Paco Lopez rides from gate 6.
Bodhisattva - has placed in eight of 12 career starts for trainer Jose Corrales and enters off a last of eighth in the Preakness Stakes after being eased. It followed his first stakes win - the minor Fredrico Tesio Stakes at Pimlico at this distance April 18 and an OK second in the minor Private Terms Stakes March 21. Before that was a pair of fourths in minor stakes action at Laurel Park to start his year. Bodhisattva has one other graded stakes start - a fifth in the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes back in November. He has placed in two of his last three starts, has won both starts at this distance and looks to bounce back from his Preakness experience when he departs from gate 2 with Trevor McCarthy in the saddle.
Good Pick Nick - Kiaran McLaughlin trainee has placed in four of five career starts - a win and three runner-up finishes. He makes his stakes debut Sunday off a second behind The Truth Or Else in an Allowance Optional Claiming May 22 at Belmont Park and a maiden score at Aqueduct April 11. Before that was a pair of seconds in MSW races at Tampa Bay this past spring. He leaves from the outside gate 8 Sunday looking to make a little noise - with Fernando Jara in the reins.
Chipit - Todd Pletcher trained colt will try to remain perfect in his short career - he has two starts and two wins. Last time out was an Allowance Optional Claiming score April 9 after a maiden win at first asking in March - both results at Gulfstream.
