#2 Zenden has made two starts for the Todd Pletcher barn. In the first he unleashed a big effort, posting a career best Equibase Speed Figure of 107. His most recent start was compromised after a bump at the start.

Best bets are Pegasus World Cup Pick, Prime-Time NBA Tilt and Jazil Stakes.

Mr. Buff will be sent to the front end and control the fractions. He's been difficult to pass when put into play early and left alone. This longer mile and an eighth distance has been his preferred trip.

Best bets are Pegasus World Cup Pick and Prime-Time NBA Tilt. Santa Anita Park has Race 8, $200,000 Palos Verdes Stakes, 6:30 p.m. EST.
