Last weekend, the three-year-old prep season took a one-week break. Focus instead shifted to the older horses, as Gun Runner showed in the Pegasus World Cup why allowing a sound horse to stay in training through age five can be downright magical. We’re back to reality this week: Gun Runner has taken up residence at stud, and it’s time to turn our eyes back to the ones dreaming of roses and lilies come may.
This weekend, the sophomore trail continues full steam ahead, and Picks and Ponderings takes you to all the points races. This piece will focus on Gulfstream’s pair, the Forward Gal (G4) for fillies and the Holy Bull (G2) for open company.
Read up on the histories of the Forward Gal and the Holy Bull, and dive into my picks and analysis, over at Picks and Ponderings!
