Al Loud (Quality Road), a $650,000 OBS April purchase by Tagermeen Racing, gets his career started for Todd Pletcher.

Gilded Bandit (Charlatan), drawn widest of all in post 11 for this unveiling, brought $550,000 from Pin Oak Stud as a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling. He was produced by SP Diamond Ore (Tapit), a half-sister to the brilliant and gone-too-soon Arrogate (Unbridled's Song). Bill Mott trains.

The field of 11 also includes: the debuting Rigney Racing homebred Lincoln's Law (Liam's Map), a half-brother to MGISW Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie); and the rail-drawn Juddmonte homebred Sovereign Law (Into Mischief), produced by a graded stakes placed full-sister to MGSW & MGISP Bonny South (Munnings).
