Aaron Halterman previews the field for Saturday’s Risen Star Stakes (G2) at Fair Grounds, then gives his top picks and longshots for this Kentucky Derby (G1) prep worth 50-20-10-5 points to the top four finishers. The undefeated Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) winner Smile Happy makes his long-awaited return and his 3-year-old debut against several in-form rivals including Epicenter, who looks to rebound from his narrow Lecomte Stakes (G3) defeat.
