Let’s meet the contenders for the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (Race 13):

#1-MISS FULTON GAL: Winner of Laurel’s Beyond the Wire Stakes looks to rebound off a fourth-place prep in the local Weber City Miss Stakes. Jockey John Velazquez picks up the mount for the first time for trainer Mike Gorham. $35K daughter of Santa Anita Derby winner Rock Your World proved a bargain with nearly $160K earned.

#2-IVY GIRL: Belmont-based filly has scored road wins in 2 straight, first Parx’s Main Line Stakes and most recently Laurel’s Weber City Miss. Jockey Victor Carrasco returns in the saddle after pulling a 27-1 upset last out for trainer Amelia Green, a fomer Todd Pletcher assistant. Filly is from the first crop of Maxfield, which also includes Danon Bourbon, Englishman and Black-Eyed Susan rival Holly’s Holiday.

#3-HOLLY’S HOLIDAY: Strong close to the Oaklawn racing season with a maiden victory and a 21-1 upset score in the Valley of the Vapors Stakes. The Kenny McPeek trainee had a non-descript freshman season but comes into the Black-Eyed Susan on the ascent. Flavien Prat takes the controls for the first time aboard this Maxfield filly. Prat guided Margie’s Intention to victory in last year’s Black-Eyed Susan and can become the first back-to-back winner since Javier Castellano in 2014-’15. She will carry top weight of 122 pounds under the stakes conditions.

#4-SAVOR IT: $5,000 bargain Vino Rosso filly exits an allowance victory at her Parx homebase. Trainer Uriah St. Lewis teams again with the Philly connections as Mychel Sanchez retains the mount. She’s 2-for-8 and has been well-beaten in both career stakes bids to date. St. Lewis best-known for upsetting 2018 Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup with 45-1 bomber Discreet Lover.

#5-BRAKEN POPPA: Dominant filly in the Louisiana-bred sophomore class, she’s won 4 straight, including back-to-back stakes. Steve Asmussen trains the $80K daughter of Auerlius Mamimus, who wintered at Fair Grounds before changing locales to Churchill Downs. Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Jose Ortiz was aboard in her Crescent City Oaks victory in late March and returns to the saddle. Both seek their first Black-Eyed Susan victories.

#6-HAUTE DIVA: Joins Miss Fulton Gal as the most-experienced members of the lineup, making her tenth career start Friday. Patrick Biancone’s Florida-based filly won Gulfstream’s Cash Run Stakes on New Year’s Day but was soundly beaten in the Davona Dale and Gulfstream Oaks. Daughter of Florida Derby winner Constitution finished up the track in last year’s Alcibiades at Keeneland in her only prior start away from Gulfstream. Keith Asmussen rides.

#7-JUMPING THE GUN: Beaten favorite in the Weber City Miss when third at 6-5 odds, this Gun Runner filly looks to make amends in her second start of 2026. The Andew Simoff trainee closed her juvenile season third in the Grade 2 Demoiselle at Aqueduct. Luis Saez takes the call for the first time on this Delaware Park-based filly who won the Blue Hen and Small Wonder at her home track last summer.

#8-MAJESTIC LUCIA: Florida-based trainer Victor Barboza Jr. takes a class hike and road trip with this daughter of McKinzie. She’s the most lightly raced member of the field with just 3 prior starts, including back-to-back wins in maiden and allowance company. Junior Alvarado piloted her to the maiden score at Gulfstream 2 starts back and reunites in the saddle.

#9-A.P.’S GIRL: Trainer Peter Eurton returns this filly from her Kentucky base for a second straight start, shipping in to finish a close second in the Weber City Miss Stakes last month. Filly by Honor A.P. has found her groove after starting 0-for-5, winning twice prior to her initial stakes try at Laurel. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. has the mount for the first time.

#10-MY MISS MO (pictured): Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. entered her in the Kentucky Oaks but was forced to miss the race for an undisclosed reason and scratched. The Gulfstream Park Oaks runner-up has worked 3 furlongs since (May 10 in :35-4/5) and will try to get back on track at Laurel. She’s been first or second in 4 of 5 career starts, all in Florida to date, and will have regular rider Tyler Gaffalione back in the saddle. The $320K Uncle Mo filly was the most expensive auction buy in the lineup.
