Bankit [post 1, Joel Rosario, 124 pounds], trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, boasts a record of 33-6-10-5 for purse earnings in excess of $1 million. The 6-year-old Central Banker bay, bred in the Empire State by Hidden Brook Farm and Blue Devil Racing, will make his first appearance since a sixth-place finish in the Group 2 Godolphin Mile on March 26 at Meydan. Last year, he bested fellow state-breds in the Commentator at Belmont and defeated open-company in the John B. Campbell at Laurel Park. The Michelle Giangiulio-trained Sea Foam [post 7, Kendrick Carmouche, 122 pounds] won this event last year and added the Alex M. Robb to his ledger on New Year’s Eve at the Big A to close out his campaign. Bred by Waterville Lake Stables, the 7-year-old Medaglia d’Oro bay will look to make his seasonal debut a winning one. The talented field includes Brooklyn Strong [post 2, Flavien Prat, 118 pounds], Three Jokers [post 3, John Velazquez, 118 pounds], Therisastormbrewin [post 4, Luis Saez, 118 pounds], Tiergan [post 5, Irad Ortiz, Jr., 119 pounds] and Market Alert [post 6, Jose Ortiz, 122 pounds].
