CLASSIC FUTURE
ACCELERATE (#1) (5-2), an impressive winner of three straight Grade 1 races, is the clear favorite in the Classic field. The John Sadler trainee concluded Pool 1 as the 3-1 choice and is even more fancied following his Awesome Again (G1) tally last out.
Champion WEST COAST (#18) (8-1) ran second in the Awesome Again off a very long absence for trainer Bob Baffert. The four-year-old colt, who was third in the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), is the only other runner at single-digit odds.
Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) winner THUNDER SNOW (#16) (10-1), Travers Stakes (G1) victor CATHOLIC BOY (#4) (10-1) and MCKINZIE (#10) (10-1), who returned from a lengthy break to annex the Pennsylvania Derby (G1), are their closest morning-line pursuers in the 20-entry field.
Whitney Stakes (G1) star DIVERSIFY (#7) (15-1), multiple Grade 1 winner MIND YOUR BISCUITS (#12) (15-1) and Woodward Stakes (G1) hero YOSHIDA (#19) (15-1), are of good value in a deep cast.

TURF FUTURE
The Turf Future Wager has 12 individual runners and the ‘All-Others’ option after the recent scratch of LA EXTRANA DAMA (#7).
It goes through the sensational ENABLE (#5) (1-1), the reigning European Horse of the Year. The John Gosden trainee was a winner in her 2018 debut and aims to repeat in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Fr-G1) on Sunday.
Sir Michael Stoute’s CRYSTAL OCEAN (#4) (12-1), three-time Group 1 star ROARING LION (#10) (8-1) and defending Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) winner TALISMANIC (#13) (12-1), add to a strong European contingent.
Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1) romper CHANNEL MAKER (#3) (10-1), Sword Dancer (G1) and Bowling Green (G2) victor GLORIOUS EMPIRE (#6) (10-1) and Arlington Million (G1) winner ROBERT BRUCE (#11) (8-1), are the top locally-based runners on the ticket.
