II) at Del Mar, where he'll take on fellow multiple grade I winner Dortmund. Since moving south from his Los Alamitos Race Course base a week ago, California Chrome has been doing very well according to trainer Art Sherman, including an impressive five-furlong breeze July 16 at the seaside racetrack. "He's doing great—schooling great, galloping great," Sherman said of the 5-year-old's week of preparation. Sherman also felt good about the 2014 Horse of the Year's draw—sixth in the field of seven—for the 1 1/16 mile event, his first contest since a standout score in the March 26 Dubai World Cup (UAE-I). "That's perfect," Sherman said. "I like it on the outside and it's a good post for him. He's won from all post positions, but outside you get to see what horses show speed and don't need to rush."

The massive son of Big Brown began training toward his comeback right alongside Califor- nia Chrome at Los Alamitos for trainer Bob Baffert before recording two July workouts at Santa Anita Park and his last, a 1:12 flat move July 17 at Del Mar. Hronis Racing's Hard Aces, trained by John Sadler, struck gold in the 2015 Santa Anita Gold Cup (gr. I), in the absence of California Chrome following his World Cup run that year, but has yet to find the winner's circle in nine races since. The son of Hard Spun has, however, hit the board in three of his last four starts, all in graded company, including a third-place run in the 2016 Gold Cup June 25. The rest of the field is ambitiously hoping to break through against two of the top horses in the country for the last two years.

Five-year-old Postponed is bidding to become only the third dual winner of Ascot's 12- furlong flagship race, following on from Swain (1997 & 1998) and Dahlia (1973 & 1974). Formerly trained by Luca Cumani, the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum-owned Postponed is unbeaten in three starts this year for new handler Roger Varian and was last seen out when defeating Found (Aidan O'Brien) impressively by four and a half lengths in the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup (Sponsored by Investec) at Epsom Downs on June 4.

    CHURCHILL DOWNS Saturday 05/02/2015 Forecast High Partly Sunny 75 F Low Precip: 12% 54 F THE WIZARD'S CRYSTAL BALL # 3 YOCKEY'S WARRIOR (Race 2) He apparently was still feeling the effects of his monstrous victory at first asking on April 4 at Keeneland, finishing second that day. Yockey's Warrior was a mere shell of himself at Keeneland last month, setting the pace over a track surface that was extremely unkind to frontrunners and/or runners racing towards the rail. Regardless, Yockey's Warrior held on well in the stretch to salvage the place once displaced on the front end by the winner, and he was clearly second best. He projects to compete over a fairer surface today, switching to Churchill Downs while getting a huge upgrade in riders to Joel Rosario. He looms the controlling speed once again, drawing an a beneficial inside post. #3 CARVE (Race 4) He has had the misfortune of competing against Race Day not once, but twice in both of his starts off a layoff in Arkansas. In their second go-round on April 11, he gave the aforementioned runner all he could handle past midstretch, but was unable to match strides with that dual graded stakes winner when it mattered in the final yards, settling for a sharp second place finish. Carve profits immeasurably from some class relief today and the absence of Race Day as well, running in a high-end optional claiming contest. A drop in class to face similar rivals at a flat mile resulted in a going away victory as the post time favorite over this track in 2014.
