Much more excited for this race than the Apple Blossom, in which Unique Bella looks to have the underwhelming rest of the field over a barrel.
There's hard-knocking Heart to Heart, fresh off of his first grade I score. Hard-luck Om, at age five, makes his first start outside of California. The consistent Mr. Misunderstood ships in from the Fair Grounds and seeks his sixth stakes score. And then there's Hogy, my favorite horse in training, who has been on a tear at age 9 since being claimed and switching barns.
