Stablemate Wicked Strong, meanwhile, posted a breakthrough victory in the GI TwinSpires.com Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct before rolling a pair of fours in the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Belmont S. The addition of blinkers has sharpened him up in his last two attempts, headed by a powerful win over Belmont S. hero Tonalist (Tapit) in the GII Jim Dandy S. July 26. Wicked Strong is the slight favorite in the program at 3-1. "I realized inside the eighth pole it was going to be between our two [horses]," Jerkens said. "I thought Wicked [Strong] was going to hold on, but [V. E. Day] switched his lead and surged the last three jumps and nailed him right on the wire. I mean it was really the very last jump. It was disheartening for Wicked Strong. You know, he ran so hard. He didn't cut out the pace, but he was pretty close to a lively pace. He pretty much ran all the way."
