Saturday’s $250,000 Dinner Party (G3) invited several logical players to the table, but Magic Cap Stables’ Fort Washington was the only one who showed up with his characteristic effort at Pimlico.

The stakes on Saturday's Preakness Day undercard at Pimlico are a mixed bag of competitive heats and others with apparent stickouts.

Legendary jockey Frankie Dettori warmed up for his Preakness (G1) ride on Imagination by guiding the 5.40-1 Balnikhov to victory in the Dinner Party (G3).

While Whitebeam readily justified odds-on favoritism in the $100,000 Gallorette (G3), the 15.20-1 Never Explain crashed the $200,000 Dinner Party (G3) in course-record time at Pimlico.

In the graded turf stakes on Preakness Day, Technical Analysis wired the Gallorette (G3), and Set Piece stormed from well off the pace in the Dinner Party (G2).
