Coronado's Quest Leads Real Quiet in Bold Wood Memorial Win
Real Quiet dominates most of the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 11 as Coronado's Quest excels in his five wins from six starts last year. Baquero and Black Cash loom as speed horses for the Derby pace, with Byrne noting Baquero favors one turn while Real Quiet and Victory Gallop may benefit from a faster, contested early tempo.
