#	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENT	ODDS
	Game On Dude	B. 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
