EXPERT | PICK
Brian Zipse | Always Dreaming

Fresh off an impressive win at the Kentucky Derby, it’s just too easy to see why people are so high on Always Dreaming. Although admitting that the competition will definitely be tougher, Zipse thinks that the partnership between the trainer (Todd Pletcher), jockey (John Velazquez), and horse are one of the best in this generation, and adds that they should be able to add to their already great legacy.

EXPERT | PICK(S)
Guy Martin | Always Dreaming, Classic Empire

Always Dreaming is a key pick again because of obvious reasons. It’s just hard to overlook today’s absolute elite. Martin, however, has one of the other known favorites, Classic Empire, as a close second at worst, saying that this is the main threat to steal a Triple Crown title away from A.D.

Through trainer Mark Casse and jockey Julian Leparoux, Classic Empire now has a pair of good strong finishes in him, with the most recent being his top 4 run at the recently-concluded Kentucky Derby.

Always Dreaming

Penn Live | Greg Pickel | Always Dreaming

It may really seem that these three experts are making the safe pick, but you can also think of it as A.D. being simply that good. All of their previews as to why A.D. is the horse to go for is mostly about no one being close enough to even be considered.
