A competitive group of nine turf horses ages 4 and older are set to face off in Saturday’s Wise Dan Stakes at Churchill Downs. The Grade 2 Wise Dan is part of a star-studded card under the Twin Spires that also includes two Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races.

Originally held on dirt, this race was moved to turf in 1993 and its name was changed from the Firecracker Handicap in 2016 to honor the two-time Horse of the Year that had his coming-out party with a win in 2011 at 14.30-1 odds.

1. Henro (20-1 morning-line odds): Two-time stakes winner on dirt makes his first start on turf in a very tough spot. His two most recent races were duds and he prefers shorter distances, too. An outsider.

JOCKEY: Rafael Bejarano; TRAINER: Chris Hartman

2. Lagynos (6-1): Enters off of a close third in the Arlington Stakes, Churchill’s prep for this race. He always puts in a good run but usually settles for second or third, which probably will happen again.

JOCKEY: Flavien Prat; TRAINER: Steve Asmussen

3. Mi Hermano Ramon (9-2): Arrives from California off of a near-miss in the Shoemaker Mile Stakes. He also came three-quarters of a length short of defeating elite turf runner Johannes late last year. If he takes to new surroundings, look out.

JOCKEY: Antonio Fresu; TRAINER: Mark Glatt

4. Mercante (5-2): Was absent from racing for more than a year and was gelded during that span. Since then, he’s 4-for-7 with a second and a third. Won the Arlington Stakes last out on this course and at this distance, and he is a threat to repeat here.

JOCKEY: Joseph Ramos; TRAINER: Brian Knippenberg

5. Event Detail (8-1): Late runner finished a good fourth in the Arlington and has done much better since switching to compete on turf and all-weather surfaces. Still, he’s a notch below the top contenders.

JOCKEY: Irad Ortiz Jr.; TRAINER: Will Walden

6. Taking Candy (8-1): Finished last of 10 in his last start, the Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic Stakes, but he had trouble early and late in that race. Should bounce back in this spot and is talented enough to hit the board.

JOCKEY: Jose Ortiz; TRAINER: Cherie DeVaux

Brilliant Berti (Coady Media)

7. Brilliant Berti (3-1): Almost always fires and he’s 4-for-5 on this turf course. That includes a first and second in stakes this spring meet, most recently runner-up to Mercante in the Arlington. A main win threat.

JOCKEY: Brian Hernandez Jr.; TRAINER: Cherie DeVaux

8. Fort Washington (6-1): East Coast-based runner is in fine form with back-to-back wins in the Canadian Turf Stakes and the Dinner Party Stakes. Will be rallying from off of the pace and with some racing luck he should be in the mix at the finish.

JOCKEY: Junior Alvarado; TRAINER: Shug McGaughey

9. Seminole Chief (20-1): Won back-to-back turf races in Florida earlier this year but was no threat when shipping to California for the Shoemaker Mile, finishing last of nine. He might be hustled to set or press the pace breaking from the outside, which could tire him out.

JOCKEY: Luis Saez; TRAINER: Jack Sisterson

THE PICK: Mi Hermano Ramon

LIVE LONGSHOT: Lagynos

SUPERFECTA: 3-7-8-4
