The division remains open for the taking in the second half of the season for three-year-old colts. Jack Christopher, an undefeated Chad Brown trainee, hopes to continue making his case for divisional honors with a victory in Saturday's Haskell. His main rival is Taiba, returning to the Bob Baffert barn following a lackluster result in this year's Kentucky Derby.

Handicappers Ed DeRosa and Sara Elbadwi discuss both main contenders, as well as the rest of the field in this year's exciting rendition. Other ex-Derby contenders such as Cyberknife and White Abarrio add to the mix. Ultimately, they both agree on their top selection to win the race.

The three-year-old filly division match-ups continue this weekend as well. Secret Oath and Nest, the one-two finishers in the Kentucky Oaks, will meet again in the Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga. With five contenders in the field, DeRosa and Elbadwi analyze how that dynamic has an impact on the race.
