In depth
Verdict
Affianced and Navetta, both very expensive yearlings from top barns, occupied the places when making their debuts over the track and trip in March with Constancia behind. Both will have come on a bundle for the experience and John Sadler's runner-up just gets the nod to come out on top again. Bob Baffert runs two newcomers. HIMIKO, by American Pharoah, cost $1m and with a better draw than Fierce for Sul, a $650,000 daughter of Speightstown, she's handed the vote to make a successful debut.
