The Fayette Ends in a Dead Heat
There is no denying that Figured The Storm has figured out how to be a great race horse this year, coming into The Fayette with five wins in ten starts as a four year old. Make that six of eleven, but he will share that win First Sargeant, who had commanded two wins in eight starts in 2022 before this race.

Cascade King Reigns Over The Hill Prince
We would have ourselves a tight finish at the wire in The Hill Prince, and after examining the photo, it would be Cascade King earning the win for Nakamura Stables marking the second win in a row for the trainer. Unfortunately for him, Cascade King will be unable to follow the same script as Nevada Silver did last year as that one won both the Hill Prince and the BC Mile.

In The Sands Point, seven three year old fillies went to post, and grabbing the win would be Lady Hilltopper, a horse that never seems to get any respect at the betting window.
