The Post Time Picks like Bee Two Bee to win it all.
“Bee Two Bee loves this time of year. He equalled the track record around the same time last year and gave us a hint that he was back to himself when he stormed home in 27 seconds to finish third by a neck two starts back. He put it all together last week when he scored from off-the-pace to win in 1:52.4. With the pole position this week, he looks like the one to beat.”
