Baffert R. Bejarano In top form and loves the track, but is just a little bit shaky at the distance 5-2 Ron The Greek W. Mott J. Lezcano Won the Big Cap at distance over track last March, but last outing was dull 5-1 Flat Out W. Mott J. Rosario This isn't at Belmont, his favorite track; beaten chalk in this race last year 6-1 Fort Larned I. Wilkes B. Hernandez Will forgive his last; his Whitney two back was strong; big rebound threat 6-1 Mucho Macho Man K. Ritvo M. Smith Was best in defeat in Woodward; not sure if he's quite good enough 8-1 Richard's Kid D. O'Neill G. Gomez Compromised by speed bias last time, added distance helps; dangerous 10-1 Nonios J. Hollendorfer M. Pedroza Game second to Dude in Awesome Again; this field is very deep, though 12-1 To Honor and Serve W. Mott J. Velazquez Has looked top class at various times, but has been too erratic this season 12-1 Alpha K. McLaughlin R. Dominguez Came up empty in the Pa. Derby; looks to be a cut below these, anyway 20-1 Pool Play M. Casse M. Mena His two dirt starts were both graded wins; in very tough here, however 20-1 Brilliant Speed T. Albertrani J. Alvarado Third in last year's Belmont, but he's a turf horse, and is off form, too 30-1 Handsome Mike D. O'Neill M. Gutierrez Upset winner of Pa. Derby, and he would be a much bigger surprise here 30-1 Fridays recap
