Haven't we seen this before? Charismatic four years ago and Proud Citizen last year, leaping from a win in the Lexington S.na-Lexington connection bandwagon.na
Jockey: Calvin Borel
Best 3yo BRIS Speed: 98
Late contestant hasn't been close in his last three and will be tested for class in this spot. One thing in his favor, however, is the fact that he likes the Churchill atmosphere, having broken his maiden and then finished a good second in the Kentucky Jockey Club S. (G2). Could show more than people expect, but a top-four finish would appear improbable.

Rider: Pat Day
Best 3yo BRIS Speed: 109
Has steadily gotten better and ran huge in the Illinois Derby (G2) without really beating much. He has top and bottom-side breeding for 10 furlongs and could wind up as the second choice when the race goes off, especially with Pat Day in the saddle. The horse will probably close from well off the pace, and he definitely merits gimmicks consideration, if not the outright win.
