Pp Horse Jockey/trainer Sts. 1-2-3 Earnings Odds Comment
1. Chocolate Candy Gomez/Hollendorfer 10 4-2-1 $592,500 10-1 Kentucky Derby 5th should be closer early on; has trained here for a month
2. Dunkirk Velazquez/Pletcher 4 2-1-0 $193,200 4-1 Derby could prove needed prep for lightly raced horse; $3.7 million yearling
3. Mr. Hot Stuff Prado/Harty 8 1-0-3 $150,560 15-1 Derby 15th is gorgeous horse but might be a cut below or just slow learner
4. Summer Bird Desormeaux/Ice 4 1-0-1 $123,040 12-1 Derby 6th could be closer to pace with blinkers; has looked terrific training
5. Luv Gov Mena/Lukas 11 1-3-1 $62,896 20-1 Headline writers' choice; named for guy who used to present Belmont trophy
6. Charitable Man Garcia/McLaughlin 4 3-0-0 $307,200 3-1 Dangerous as controlling speed, 3 for 3 on dirt and by a Belmont winner
7. Mine That Bird Borel/Woolley 10 5-2-0 $2,011,581 2-1 Big question is if late-running style will be as effective here
8. Flying Private Leparoux/Lukas 12 1-4-0 $259,080 12-1 Massive horse ran a sneaky good 4th in Preakness
9. Miner's Escape Lezcano/Zito 7 2-0-0 $70,590 15-1 Won last two; appears outclassed but could help dictate pace
10. Brave Victory Maragh/Zito 9 2-2-1 $110,533 15-1 Probably meant to be come-from-behind sprinter
