# HORSE TRAINER JOCKEY COMMENT ODDS
Coil B. Baffert M. Garcia Solid win in the local prep for this and rarely runs poorly; will be a handful 4-1
Amazombie W. Spawr M. Smith Won this last year, but his last was a rare dud; formidable if able to rebound 9-2
Capital Account B. Baffert D. Flores Fast closing, narrowly beaten second in the local prep; wants more ground 6-1
The Lumber Guy M. Hushion J. Velazquez If he was uncoupled in the Vosburgh, he'd have paid off at 20-1, not 2-1 6-1
Fast Bullet B. Baffert J. Talamo Obviously talented, but away a year and never ran in a stakes; I don't get it 10-1
Jimmy Creed R. Mandella G. Gomez Third in the same race the top three come out of; can be in the mix again 10-1
Poseidon's Warrior R. Reid Jr. I. Ortiz Jr. A big surprise two back, he didn't run as well last time; jury is out on him 12-1
Sum of the Parts T. Amoss J. Leparoux Versatile, and in career form, but needs a big move forward to contend 12-1
Smiling Tiger J. Bonde R. Dominguez There was a time when he'd be a major threat in this; looks past his prime 15-1
Gantry R. Faucheux J. Castellano Good in easier races, but he has never been effective at this high a level 20-1
Trinniberg S. Parbhoo W. Martinez His stakes wins came with uncontested early leads; no easy leads here 20-1
Hamazing Destiny D. W. Lukas J. Rosario Give him credit, he's been punching away for years; he's a Gr. 3 horse now 30-1
Justin Phillip S. Asmussen R. Bejarano At his best on a wet track, which he isn't going to get at SA this time of year 30-1
Boxeur des Rues D. O'Neill M. Gutierrez Not fast enough or good enough; just doesn't belong in the Breeders' Cup 50-1
