A Case For Rich Strike
This race serves as more of a test to see if Rich Strike winning the Kentucky Derby was as serious as people think or if it was a fluke. Rich Strike has had a decent career in eight races having finished in the top-5 in seven of them which includes two wins.
Both of his wins have come at the Churchill Downs race track.
Something to keep in mind that backs his odds though is that jockey, Sonny Leon, has raced under trainer, Eric Reed, multiple times this year and has done an incredible job. In his last 10 races under Reed, he has finished inside of the top-5 eight times.
