The $400,000 Stonestreet Lexington Stakes (G1), Keeneland, Race 9

9th race – (2) In Due Time closed nicely in the stretch to finish second in the Fountain of Youth. An inside post should help his chances of working out a winning trip in this field. (10) Dash Attack gets Prat and may finally work out a good trip. (7) Major General flopped off a six-month layoff but should be ready for a better effort today.  (11) Call Me Midnight beat Kentucky Derby favorite Epicenter two starts back and can bounce back with a strong try in this final prep for the Run for the Roses. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta and trifecta box: 2-7-10-11.
