Windy conditions trimmed speeds and caused five crashes, including a dramatic Turner rollover that left him with a crushed vertebrae and burns and ended his season. Jim Hurtubise and Don Branson joined Jones on the front row as 11 cars qualified in the first weekend of trials watched by about 275,000 fans.

Candy Spots, the Preakness winner from California, will race next in the $100,000 Jersey Derby at Garden State Park on Memorial Day and then likely meet rivals Chateaugay and Never Bend in the Belmont Stakes at Aqueduct on June 8. Trainer Mesh Tenney says the colt is in fine fettle and eager to run, though he admits the field could pose a strong challenge after Candy Spots led past Never Bend in a stretch move at Pimlico.
