2019 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes Handicapping
The race for qualifying points for the 2020 Kentucky Derby picks up again this weekend with the running of the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. Nine two-year-olds are expected to go to the gate, racing 1 1/16 miles and chasing Derby qualifying points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the top-four finishers.
Here then are four horses I’ll use to fill out a betting slip.
The Kentucky Jockey Club lineup includes three horses coming out of the very competitive Street Sense Stakes, going one mile over this same dirt track just over one month ago, while the favorite ships in from New York. Odds listed here are the morning line odds from Churchill Downs.
2019 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Tiz The Law Race Odds: 7-5
The winner by open lengths in his first two lifetime starts in his home state of New York, Tiz The Law currently sits second on the Derby qualifying list thanks to 10 points picked up in winning the (G1) Champagne Stakes. That came after he won his career debut at Saratoga in August.
His acceleration in the Champagne stretch drive was impressive and he’s been able to overcome some trip problems in both of his starts. At the same time, some of those problems were self-inflicted so the key with him is to stay out of trouble.
He’s trained by Barclay Tagg and Miguel Mena is the rider.
2019 Clark Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping : South Bend Race Odds: 9-5
The winner of the previously mentioned Street Sense Stakes, South Bend showed some maturity perhaps lacking in Tiz The Law when he sat patiently waiting for room to run twice during the race before moving between horses late to grab the win. He’s now 3-for-3 in his young career, with two of those wins coming at Churchill.
Stanley Hough is the trainer, Julien Leparoux gets the ride.

2019 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Fighting Seabee Race Odds: 8-1
The runner-up in the Street Sense, Fighting Seabee took a wandering path in that race, going five wide on the turn, then cutting to the rail, then going back out five wide in the stretch drive to just miss by a length. Two starts back he scored a win at the distance in the (G3) With Anticipation Stakes.
He’s trained by Ken McPeek, with regular rider Brian Hernandez Jr. in the saddle.
2019 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping Silver Prospector Race Odds: 8-1
Already with five races to his name, Silver Prospector only has a maiden win in those, but it’s important to note his first three starts came on the turf. Since they switched him to dirt he’s run first and then third and showed a positive improvement in his speed figure last out in the Street Sense even if he didn’t win.
Steve Asmussen trains, Ricardo Santana Jr. is in the irons.
Here’s my 2019 Kentucky Jockey Cub Free Pick.
Both of the top two look formidable here, but I’m going to put Fighting Seabee on top and hope he’s overlooked a bit at the betting windows. I like the fact he has a win at the distance and a runner-up finish over the track.
Two starts back he was fifth in the (G3) Dixiana Bourbon Stakes but that result was on the turf and can be tossed. If Hernandez can work out a better trip than last time I think he’ll be in with a chance.
