machine comes into this race off five straight victories and successfully
stepped up versus stakes company last time out for trainer Joe Sharp and
finished ahead of several of today’s same rivals. Rain is on the forecast in
the New Orleans area this weekend, and if that’s the case, Money Supply has
already won three races in a row on wet tracks. Money Supply can extend his
streak at least one more race.

Phantom drew the far outside but will be sending for the lead anyway and has
the speed to overcome the post draw with zero disadvantage. The question from
there will be whether or not he is good enough to lead this field gate to wire
at 1 3/16 miles, and the answer to that question is yes. Track Phantom won
back-to-back races on the Fair Grounds road to the Triple Crown in the Gun
Runner Stakes and the Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes and finished second last time in a
good effort behind Sierra Leone in the Risen Star Stakes, which has been the
best-quality Kentucky Derby prep race run so far this season. Thanks to the
absence of Sierra Leone in this field, Track Phantom is once again the horse to
beat.
