Pink Stakes - G5 6F D WIN Chaotic Limitations PLACE Corsair
Vanilla Cup- G4 9F D WIN Partyatthedisco PLACE Incitatus SHOW Soaring Passion
While it's a bit early still for 3yos to be besting older horses, Incitatus is not in as good of form as he could be with only one start this year. Partyatthedisco took advantage of that, snagging the winning spot.

This was an amazing field of colts, all of which had a legitimate argument to win this race. But in the end, at this leg of the race, I had to judge it the way that felt right.
KENTUCKY DERBY* - G5+ 10F D 3YO WIN Black Thriller (three lengths) PLACE Arctic Fox (head) SHOW Gold Rush fourth Tuff E' Nuff fifth Roussong
Black Thriller: This horse has earned this win, and nobody was going to take his top form away from him. I like his chances in the Preakness as well, but he'll have his work cut out for him in the Belmont!
Arctic Fox: Arctic Fox is a live competitor, and nothing is taken away in defeat. I also believe this horse has a very real chance in the Preakness Stakes, also his last-eligible race of the series. Best of luck with him!
Gold Rush: I wholeheartedly believe this colt will improve with distance. Everything about him screams distance to me. You know how this works more than anyone, so I say just keep on trucking!
Tuff E' Nuff: This colt, too, I feel will favor the longer distance races. I would almost suggest running in the BSD 3yo HOTY race instead of the Preakness, to prep him for the Belmont. But that's up to you, of course!
Roussong: To me, Roussong seems to favor the shorter distances. I think he would be an excellent candidate for the Red Mile series based on his performance up until now.
Congratulations everyone, and I'm excited to see how the rest of the series turns out!

Zebra Stakes - G2+G1 9F D WIN Headstrong PLACE Natural Selection SHOW Flashing The Declaration fourth Noadiance
Noadiance was out of shape after not having run since February. If you get him racing more frequently, Sammy, he could have a good year. But if he doesn't race often he won't be competitive at the top levels. Holly, you should really put the rest of the seasons on the pages of the horses you lease. It can hurt them if you don't have all of the information there, and technically the page isn't complete.
BEYOND THE LIMITS LEGACY STAKES* - G5+ 10F D 2YOS WIN Authentic Aura PLACE Odin SHOW Samaritan Hero fourth Chocolatier
This was really tough, because all of these horses could have won with race. They're all very, very good at this point in the year. So I kind of went with my gut, and something about the filly seemed to me like she'd come back hard after a poor finish and a rest. Contrarily, I don't think there's anything wrong with Chocolatier in the least in this race. In another edition of it, he could've won. But I feel like the others are very suited and primed for this distance.
DASH OF SUGAR MEMORIAL STAKES* - G4+ 5F D WIN Innerstellar PLACE Silent Snap SHOW Melodious
Lolly, you should probably go through Silent Snap's race record and note which of those are HOTY races, even with just a star, to set them apart. I know that most of those are HOTYs, but not everyone will.

PEGASUS WINGS MEMORIAL STAKES* - G4+ 5F T Win. Optical Illusion Place. Athena's Desires Show. Dancing On Nails Fourth. Manhattan Royalty
Dancing On Nails: I'm pretty sure I judged the Demonic Desires Memorial Stakes with him in it and gave him a win. That win isn't reflected on his record, however.
