With the TC races are behind us, there still are some quality races for 3YO's as we await summertime and the Jim Dandy, Haskell and Travers Stakes. The Matt Winn Stake was won by such outstanding 3YO's as Gun Runner, McCraken, Tapiture and Posse. Though this is a short field it brings out a horse that many feel could be a threat to Justify, the impressive 3YO Ax Man. Other quality 3YO's are signed on like Combatant, whose trainer (Asmussen) uses this race frequently to get his 3YO's on the right path after doing battle in the TC races....so this should be a very good race.

Just edited my selection and went with the favorite....really looks hard to beat with Home Base being the only other speed?
