Wood Memorial Picks to Monitor
Deterministic
Morning Line Odds: 7/5
Deterministic won the Gotham Stakes (Grade 3) his last time out with a 99 Speed Figure. He could be a contender to win the Kentucky Derby.
Tuscan Sky
Morning Line Odds: 4/1
Tuscan Sky has opened his career with two wins. He produced Speed Figures of 97 and 99 in those races.
Uncle Heavy
Morning Line Odds: 8/1
Uncle Heavy has won three of four career races, most recently winning the Withers Stakes (Grade 3). That last victory came at the same distance (1 1/8 miles) as the Wood Memorial.
