If Tapit Trice’s Tampa Bay Derby (G3) victory left a few questions about his chances in the Kentucky Derby (G1), the Todd Pletcher trainee went some way toward answering them with a professional display in Saturday’s Blue Grass (G1) at Keeneland.

An impressive victory in the Fountain of Youth (G2) propelled Forte to overall favoritism in Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 5.

After an admirable second to loose-on-the-lead stablemate Victory Formation in the Smarty Jones S. at Oaklawn Park, Angel of Empire thrived with added ground, and a contested pace, in Saturday’s Risen Star (G2) at Fair Grounds.

Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 3 saw “All Other Three-Year-Old Males” close as the overall favorite, with Forte the preferred individual choice.
