Olympiad turned in another tour de force at Fair Grounds on Saturday when taking the $485,000 New Orleans Classic (G2) by two lengths as a 3-5 favorite.

He had to fight tooth and nail, but Masqueparade delivered a victory as the favorite in Saturday’s $500,000 Ohio Derby (G3) at Thistledown.

Promise Keeper will enter the $500,000 Ohio Derby (G3) at Thistledown on the upswing for Todd Pletcher, rolling to a 2 1/4-length victory most recently in the May 8 Peter Pan S. (G3) at Belmont Park. The three-year-old colt has been installed as the 7-2 morning line favorite against 10 rivals.

After skipping the Kentucky Derby (G1), Rombauer exploded from off the pace to win the Preakness S. (G1) going away at odds of 11.80-1. Now he’s expected to bid for divisional leadership in the June 5 Belmont S. (G1), where several Derby alumni and a few new shooters are likely to pose fresh challenges.
