Comments: #2 Bay Storm (3-1) could not catch strong favorite Caravel in the Unbridled Sidney on the Kentucky Oaks undercard at 5.5T May 5. This versatile mare almost always fires trifecta shots and John Velazquez can place her anywhere. #5 Our Flash Drive (8-5) was sharp in her last two all-weather sprint stakes wins in the Bessarabian (G2) last fall and the Whimsical (G3) in her May 13 return. She is no slouch on turf either. She won the De La Rose at Saratoga last summer and placed in the Beaugay (G3) and Nassau (G2) prior to that. #10 Adaay In Asia (4-1) makes her first start since September 2022. The overseas transplant is now conditioned by Christophe Clement and she captured four turf sprints in Great Britain last year. #4 Millie Girl (20-1) is 3-for-3 in extended sprint races and two of those wins were in local turf events last summer. She returned with a smart all-weather sprint win on May 12 and she continues to improve for Catherine Day Phillips. The lightly raced 5-year-old mare has never finished out of the trifecta and she gets tested for class in this spot.
