Bishops Bay has run three times to date and all three were 'A' efforts, first winning in his debut in February and next prevailing gamely by a neck when stretched out to two turns for the first time in March. Agnello's Dream, Last Cookie and Timesatappin all step up in class off allowance race efforts in which none of the trio was victorious.īishops Bay is my top choice to win this year's Ohio Derby, adding to the hot hand trainer Brad Cox has held this month in stakes races for 3-year-olds, having saddled Idiomatic to win the Shawnee Stakes three weeks ago and similarly saddling Salute the Stars to victory in the Pegasus Stakes last weekend. Henry Q won the Mine That Bird Derby in New Mexico in February and followed that up with third-place finishes in the Grade 3 Sunland Park Derby and Peter Pan, so he is another who appears to fit with these. Hayes Strike has proven he belongs with the some of the best 3-year-olds, winning the Private Terms Stakes in March and the Texas Derby last month. Bishops Bay is another strong contender as he enters the Ohio Derby after missing by a head last month in the Grade 3 Peter Pan Stakes to eventual Grade 1 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets winner Arcangelo. Lord Miles is likely to be well regarded by racing fans, having won the Grade 2 Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by Resorts World Casino when last seen in April.

Leading the field in accomplishments is Two Phil's, who ran valiantly last month when leading in the stretch in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve before settling for second. on FS2 post time varies on FanDuel TVįriday, June 23: 1-5:30 p.m.
