High In Hollywood to Be High in KYD (Probably) After Lexington Win
The running of the Lexington represented the final opportunity for a horse to earn valuable KYD points, with twenty of them on the line for the winner. There were a few in this field that came into the race tied with 30 points, an amount that by itself would be highly unlikely to get in, but a win would change everything.

Mickey Scores Another Grade 1 Win in Makers Mark Mile
The last time that Mickey was on this race track, he was scoring a win in the BC Turf. Since we last saw him here at KEE, Mickey added two more Grade 1 victories to his credit, capturing the HOL Derby in December, and the winning the Kilroe Mile in his last start. It would have seemed logical, therefore, for him to have been one of the favorites for this race, and he was the horse that we picked to win.
