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
