With three different 3-year-olds claiming the individual Triple Crown events, the divisional title for 2010 is still wide open. With a number of Triple Crown alums returning to the races recently and some new prospects beginning to emerge, the "second season" has officially begun – and a good deal of the action could play out at Saratoga when the meet opens in just over a month.

Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver has returned to the worktab in recent weeks at Belmont. In his second work since finishing eighth in the Preakness, the colt breezed four furlongs in :50.66 on Sunday. Super Saver is likely headed to the Haskell Invitational on August 1 at Monmouth, where he’ll meet Preakness victor Lookin At Lucky. Super Saver pointing to the Haskell means that Belmont winner Drosselmeyer, who is also owned by WinStar Farm, will likely run in the Jim Dandy, as the connections would like to keep the two separate for prep races before they meet in the Travers on August 28. Also likely for the Jim Dandy is the New York-bred Friend Or Foe, an impressive winner of the Mike Lee Stakes at Belmont on Sunday.

Winslow Homer, who won the Holy Bull Stakes early this year before being knocked off the Triple Crown trial due to injury, returns in Saturday’s Iowa Derby. Should his return go according to plan, the colt will likely return to Saratoga – where he broke his maiden last summer – for the Jim Dandy and Travers.

The lightly raced Afleet Express, making his two-turn debut, defeated a quality field in the Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth – a race that’s likely to produce some Haskell starters. The son of Afleet Alex improved his record to 3-for-5 lifetime in his two-turn debut, drawing clear in the lane despite going wide on the turn. Runner-up Afleet Again, another son of Afleet Alex, made a similar move but couldn’t keep up and had to settle for second. That colt is just 3-for-12 lifetime, but that includes a win in the Withers, a runner-up effort in the Whirlaway, and a third in the Spend A Buck. Meanwhile, favored Jackson Bend, making his first start since finishing third in the Preakness, faded to fifth after attending the pace. The diminutive colt, coming off a busy spring, was also 12th in the Derby. Finishing behind him in sixth was Preakness ninth-place finisher Schoolyard Dreams.

Paddy O’Prado, third in the Derby and sixth in the Preakness, returned to turf over the weekend and scored an impressive win in the Colonial Turf Cup in Virginia. Expect him to stay on that surface for the time being. Also in the Colonial field was Lane’s End Stakes winner Dean’s Kitten, making his first start since finishing 14th in the Derby. He checked in fifth, just behind Doubles Partner, a regally bred colt who captured the American Turf on Derby weekend. With horses such as these in the mix, the sophomore turf division could prove interesting.

Also trying turf in the last week was Derby fifth-place finisher Noble’s Promise, who finished a credible fifth against a standout European field in the St. James Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Discreetly Mine, a colt with multiple stakes wins and placings on his resume, finished second in the Woody Stephens on Belmont Day, his first time out since finishing 13th in the Kentucky Derby. We’ll expect to see him at Saratoga this summer – perhaps, if he remains at sprint distances, in the King’s Bishop.

The speedy Grade III winner Comedero ran his career record to 8-for-9 lifetime with a win in the Red Legend Stakes at Charles Town. Sanford winner Backtalk, in his first start since finishing last in the Derby, was third, while Northern Giant, who ran last in the Preakness, was fourth.

Also returning to action over the weekend was Aikenite, who won an allowance at Aqueduct. The colt was 10th in the Preakness last time out.

One horse we won't be seeing in the second season is Arkansas Derby winner Line Of David. The son of Lion Heart, who finished 18th in the Kentucky Derby after helping to set the pace, has been sold and retired to stud at Spendthrift Farm for 2011.
