Last Race: Keeneland: Grade 1 Bluegrass Stakes on 4/9/16, finished 2nd

Last Week’s Rank: 13

Analysis: My Man Sam ran very well in the Bluegrass Stakes to finish second and just nose out Cherry Wine. That nose is most certainly the difference between qualifying for the Kentucky Derby or staying home as My Man Sam had 0 points coming into the race. Much like Brody’s Cause, he closed nicely and looked to have more left in the tank. I like how he trending in the right direction.
