Woody Stephens Stakes Analysis

It's currently just a few minutes until post time for the third stakes race of the Belmont card, the seven furlong Woody Stephens Stakes (gr. II) for three-year-olds.

The favorite is currently Arch Traveler at 8-5, with Travelin Man 2-1.

Here are my picks:

1 Justin Phillip
2 J J's Lucky Train
3 Arch Traveler

And J.R.'s picks:

1 J J's Lucky Train
2 Justin Phillip
3 Travelin Man

I feel that Justin Phillip will relish the cut back in distance from the nine furlong Peter Pan Stakes and will turn in a dominating performance. J.R. is confident that Justin Phillip will run well too, but feels that J J's Lucky Train will run better. Neither of us feel that Travelin Man will win from gate one, where he will likely have to be sent hard to the lead.
