|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Orb by Malibu Moon |
Even | Even | 104 |
Stuart Janney 3rd & Phipps St. C. McGaughey/J. Rosario |
1st/104 |
Jay Privman: Did everything right coming into Derby, won as best on the day, believe he's still on upgrade. Mike Watchmaker: Not track or pace dependent, has won 5 straight, and is still improving; too good for these. |
| 5 |
Mylute by Midnight Lute |
5-1 | 10-1 | 99 |
Gold Mark & Whisper Hill Farms T. Amoss/R. Napravnik |
5th/ 99 |
JP: Looked like he picked off tired horses, but like that last two races have been two best races. MW: Nice try in Derby, but he had a good set up, and a good trip; needs another step forward. |
| 6 |
Oxbow by Awesome Again |
15-1 | 15-1 | 95 |
Calumet Farm D.W. Lukas/G. Stevens |
6th/ 90 |
JP: Of horses nearest hot pace in Derby, he hung on best. Threat for share if that didn't drain him. MW:Every reason to think it should have drained him. Still looks to be a cut below the best here. |
| 7 |
Will Take Charge by Unbridled's Song |
12-1 | 10-1 | 95 |
Willis Horton D.W. Lukas/M. Smith |
8th/ 86 |
JP: Had traffic trouble trying to get across the Verrazano bridge. Probably needed the race, too. MW: Thing about his far turn move in Derby is it came in the slop, which he's supposed to dislike. |
| 9 |
Itsmyluckday by Lawyer Ron |
10-1 | 10-1 | 104 |
Trilogy Stable & Laurie Plesa E. Plesa, Jr./J. Velazquez |
15th/ 71 |
JP: Had raced too well vs.Orb in Fla., trained too well into Derby, to believe last. Can rebound. MW: Gets a big jock switch, too. But his GP races are still way better than his races elsewhere. |
| 2 |
Goldencents by Into Mischief |
8-1 | 5-1 | 105 |
W. C. Racing, et al D. O'Neill/K. Krigger |
17th/ 32 |
JP: Krigger shrewd to wrap up when all was lost. Nagging feeling he doesn't want to run this far. MW: He was eased, so it's hard to be enthused with his CD debacle; agree on the distance thing. |
| 3 |
Titletown Five by Tiznow |
30-1 | 20-1 | 98s |
Hornung, Martin, Lukas,et al D.W. Lukas/J. Leparoux |
JP: Done nothing to indicate he wants to run in race at this distance. No more than a pace factor. MW: Yes, he's like Trinniberg in last year's Derby, only he's not nearly as good as Trinniberg. |
|
| 4 |
Departing by War Front |
6-1 | 6-1 | 97 |
Claiborne Fm. & A. Dilschneider A. Stall Jr./B. Hernandez Jr. |
JP: Overcame scenic route to win Ill. Derby, still improving. Definitely biggest challenger to Orb. MW: Respect top connections, but he wasn't good enough when he met good ones in La. Derby. |
|
| 8 |
Govenor Charlie by Midnight Lute |
12-1 | 15-1 | 95 |
Michael Pegram B. Baffert/M. Garcia |
JP: Not sure he's ready for these; has worked only 3 times since training setback after Sun. Derby. MW: I also have doubts as to whether he's good enough. Looked good at Sunland, but beat little. |
