Godolphin owns the best three-year-old filly in the country in Good Cheer, and perhaps might have the best three-year-old filly at Pimlico on Friday in the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2) over 1 1/8 miles.

Godolphin’s homebred Highland Falls took it to odds-on favorite Arthur’s Ride early in Sunday’s Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) and powered away down the Saratoga stretch, stamping his ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1).

minating from post 9 in the Whitney (G1), Arthur’s Ride looks like the one to catch from the outermost post in Sunday's $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) at Saratoga.

Preakness Weekend commences in earnest Friday with six stakes races at Pimlico, anchored by the Black-Eyed Susan (G2) and Pimlico Special (G3).
