Full Card Plays Now Available There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info. Find Out Why A horse who showed ample promise early in his career that was bred in Kentucky by longtime Mandella clients Wertheimer and Frere, Kanderel rallied from far back to take a 6 1/2-furlong allowance by 3/4 of a length at odds of 14/1 on May 9. With Juan Hernandez back aboard on Saturday, Kanderel would certainly be flattered by a fast early pace as he seeks back-to-back wins for the first time in his career. A 4-year-old Candy Ride gelding out of the Storm Cat mare Stormica, Kanderel is 12-3-1-0 with earnings of $147,622.Peter Miller’s French-bred Commander, who will be ridden by the recently arrived “Jersey Joe” Bravo, comes off a big effort over the course and would appear to rate a huge chance in his second consecutive stakes assignment.Claimed 9 starts back for $50,000, Commander, a 4-year-old gelding who was 2 for 3 in France prior to making his U.S. debut with Phil D’Amato in 2019, made his first stakes appearance on May 29. He finished third, beaten 1 1/4 lengths in the Daytona Stakes (G3) at 6 1/2 furlongs on turf.With Hernandez opting to stick with Kanderel, Miller looks to Bravo to orchestrate the right trip on Saturday. Owned by the Sinnott Family Trust, Commander is 15-4-3-2 overall with earnings of $141,635.THE $75,000 SIREN LURE WITH JOCKEYS & WEIGHTS IN POST POSITION ORDERKanderel—Juan Hernandez—126Tatters to Riches—126Commander—Joe Bravo—122Texas Wedge—Umberto Rispoli—126Wound Tight—Kent Desormeaux—126Tilted Towers—Abel Cedillo—122Chasin Munny—Flavien Prat—124
