With the TC races done with, it will be interesting to see where many of the top three year olds choose to race over the summer months. The Haskell is one of those great options, and while we will not see anyone who won a TC race this year in this race, there are plenty in this who had great runs in those races.

Mb Stables has had plenty of success in the Quick Call, being the winning trainer in each of the three previous runnings of the race and four in total.

There was so much to like about the running of the Diana given the quality of horses that were taking part in it. It would take a field of this high caliber for a filly like Poetic Panther to go off as a 13/1 longshot despite riding a three race winning streak. That streak is now at four, after what is truly the biggest victory of her career up to this point.
