Leading the group is Dos Grandiose, who posted a :16.744 clocking to secure a spot in the Grade 1 final. The colt, a $85,000 repurchase from the 2025 Heritage Place Yearling Sale, is out of the stakes-placed Corona Cartel mare Aqua Girl ($48,245). Bred by Mike Vaughan and racing for Wishbone Partnership, he is trained by Dee Keener and was ridden by Mario Delgado.
