Starting off in Keeneland with the Elkhorn over 2400m turf.

Maker has the two favourites in this – Red Knight on 5/2 who will be ridden by G. Corrales and Value Engineering 7/2 the mount of Tye Gaffalione.

Not with Maker but another Maker is Channel Maker on 9/2 for Mott-Velazquez.  He's hard to catch so you just have to keep playing him in the hopes……

At Oaklawn there's the Oaklawn Handicap over 1800m with 7 runners and hard to go past Charge It on 8/5.  Challenge is probable from Last Samurai from the D Wayne Lukas yard who is on 2/1.

And at Santa Anita the California Stakes is over 1800m with only 6 runners.  Bob Baffert's Defunded is 4/5 on his home track with Herandez riding and the Brazilian-bred Royal Ship is on 3/1 for Mandella-Smith.
