A quick thought on the nominees

While it remains to be seen which horses draw into the Apple Blossom it certainly appears that we will have a good, solid pace scenario. Careless Jewel and Freedom Star, two fillies that should be in the starting gate, both are wire-to-wire runners, while the Venezuelan invader, Bambera (VEN), also loves to run up front.
