Before Betting On Bing Crosby Stakes
The Bing Crosby Stakes has been a standout contest on the American schedule since 1946, with horses aged three and older competing for their share of the $400,000. A total distance of six furlongs on the dirt will be covered by the field in the race this weekend, with a field of nine set to go to post.
The Chosen Vron appears to be the obvious starting point when assessing the leading contenders this weekend. He has been in stunning form so far this season, winning on all five starts in stakes company since taking fifth in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint. His credentials are only enhanced further based on his win in this contest last year.
Anarchist was the closest finisher to him on that day, and he could be set for a renewed effort after a comeback run in the Kelly’s Landing Stakes. His form at the highest level was reliable last season, including a second in the G2 True North, and a victory in the G2 Pat O’Brien Stakes.
Jackstown represents the Bob Baffert stable this weekend, as the trainer looks for a record-breaking win in the race. The lightly-raced four-year-old has won on each of his two career starts, which included a dominant success over 6 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita on his previous outing.
