Classic »				Purse: $5,000,000, 1 1/4 miles
#	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENTS	ODDS
1	Last Gunfighter	C. Brown	J. Castellano	Hard hitter fits much better in Grade 2 or 3 events than he does at this level; looks overmatched	20-1
2	Paynter	B. Baffert	M. Garcia	It's remarkable he's with us, but he wasn't in the same league with Mucho Macho Man last time out	15-1
3	Planteur (IRE)	M. Botti	R. Moore	Dirt isn't the only question for this Euro; it has also been 30 months since he won a Group 1 race	30-1
4	Moreno	E. Guillot	J. Talamo	Raised his game with blinkers on, but he was carried by the track when he came close in the Travers	15-1
5	Declaration of War	A. O'Brien	J. O'Brien	Won two Group 1 races this year in England for sharp barn; dirt ability is obviously the big question	15-1
6	Mucho Macho Man	K. Ritvo	G. Stevens	Romped in the local prep, and was a sharp second in this race last year; he clearly loves Santa Anita	5-1
7	Fort Larned	I. Wilkes	B. Hernandez Jr.	Won last year's Classic, albeit with the speed bias; last outing was good, and one he can improve on	6-1
8	Palace Malice	T. Pletcher	J. Velazquez	Unlucky fourth in the Travers, but can't find an excuse for his soundly beaten second in the Gold Cup	10-1
9	Game On Dude	B. Baffert	M. Smith	Been mostly dominant this season, but meets his toughest field since he flopped in this race last year	2-1
10	Will Take Charge	D.W. Lukas	L. Saez	Improved dramatically over the summer while also taking blinkers off; faces elders for the first time	10-1
11	Ron the Greek	B. Mott	J. Lezcano	Scratched due to injury	SCR
12	Flat Out	B. Mott	J. Rosario	His third in the J.C. Gold Cup was not his best performance; it could be a sign that he's tailing off form	12-1

Mile »				Purse: $2,000,000, 1 mile, turf
#	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENTS	ODDS
1	No Jet Lag	S. Callaghan	M. Smith	Upset winner of the local prep at the distance over the course should get a favorable pace setup	10-1
2	Silentio	G. Mandella	R. Bejarano	Close third in the Dmr Mile last out was probably his best so far, yet he still must improve significantly	20-1
3	Silver Max	D. Romans	R. Albarado	Upset Wise Dan in the off-the-turf Shadwell; sharp, but might be compromised early by Obviously	6-1
4	Obviously (IRE)	M. Mitchell	J. Talamo	Seems to have tailed off in his last two starts; expect him to send in an attempt to recapture top form	10-1
5	Olympic Glory (IRE)	R. Hannon	R. Hughes	Just won the British Champions Mile; would be asked to ship and run back, all in only two weeks	7-2
6	Bright Thought	J. Gutierrez	J. Leparoux	Was an absolute monster at SA early this year; very tough spot to return from a 7 1/2 month layoff	15-1
7	He Be Fire N Ice	J. Sadler	V. Espinoza	Really raised his game in his last two starts; moving up again, but will get pace to set up his late run	12-1
8	Wise Dan	C. LoPresti	J. Velazquez	Won this last year, but looked less than invicinble when second in the Shadwell on Polytrack he loves	7-5
9	Cristoforo Colombo	A. O'Brien	R. Moore	Far from the best horse this barn has ever pre-entered in the Breeders' Cup; a definite outsider	20-1
10	Za Approval	C. Clement	J. Rosario	Second to Wise Dan in the Woodbine Mile, though a soundly beaten one; steady vs. lesser company	15-1

Sprint »				Purse: $1,500,000, 6 furlongs
#	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENTS	ODDS
1	Justin Phillip	S. Asmussen	J. Velazquez	Narrowly beaten by Private Zone in the Vosburgh and might be better than ever this year at age 5	7-2
2	The Lumber Guy	M. Hushion	M. Luzzi	Decent second in this race last year, but has not run back to it; two efforts off the layoff weren't good	20-1
3	Gentlemen's Bet	R. Moquett	J. Castellano	Forgive his last two, one on Poly, and the other an early duel he didn't have to be in; a matter of class	8-1
4	Majestic Stride	J. Bonde	E. Maldonado	Won decisively in an allowance earlier in the SA meet but is moving way up here; looks overmatched	20-1
5	Sum of the Parts	T. Amoss	L. Goncalves	Won the Phoenix in his last, but on Poly over much weaker; fourth in this last year with the speed bias	20-1
6	Bahamian Squall	D. Fawkes	L. Saez	He did upset the Smile Sprint three starts back, but his last two outings were not nearly as inspiring	12-1
7	Private Zone	D. O'Neill	M. Pedroza	Extremely sharp now; likes to wait on competition, then beat them; can't fool around in this event	3-1
8	Fast Bullet	D.W. Lukas	J. Rosario	Forget his last, it was absolutely the wrong spot for him; highly talented, but wish Baffert still had him	10-1
9	Secret Circle	B. Baffert	M. Garcia	Winner of the defunct Juvy Sprint in 2011 recently scored nicely off a very long absence; intriguing	4-1
10	Wine Police	H. Dominguez	E. Gomez	A very useful horse when suitably spotted; lacks even one race that says he can compete with these	20-1
11	Trinniberg	S. Parboo	R. Maragh	Won this last year with the big help of the speed bias; dismal since, save for his second in the Smile	15-1
12	Laugh Track	M. Casse	M. Smith	Chose this instead of the Dirt Mile, but he must do much better than he did in his one start on dirt	20-1

Turf »				Purse: $3,000,000, 1 1/2 miles, turf
#	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENTS	ODDS
1	Vagabond Shoes (IRE)	J. Sadler	V. Espinoza	Second to Indy Point in last; he sports decent recent form, just not against the best entered here	20-1
2	Teaks North	E. Guillot	M. Garcia	His best days were a couple of years ago and even back then, he wasn't truly Breeders' Cup-good.	30-1
3	Twilight Eclipse	T. Albertrani	J. Leparoux	Second in a couple of Grade 1's this year, but there's a big difference between that and winning one	20-1
4	Little Mike	D. Romans	M. Smith	His narrow Hirsch win was his best effort since he won this race last year; notably, he rated in both	9-2
5	Skyring	D.W. Lukas	L. Saez	Did upset the Dixie last May, but dull performances before and since makes that look like a fluke	50-1
6	Tale of a Champion	K. Mulhall	J. Talamo	The Whittingham field he beat was soft and his return in the John Henry was not good; overmatched	30-1
7	The Fugue (GB)	J. Gosden	W. Buick	High class Euro filly has won two straight Group 1's, most recently over males; unlucky at SA last year	4-1
8	Point of Entry	S. McGaughey	J. Velazquez	Was best when second in this last year; out since June due to injury; pretty tough spot for a comeback	6-1
9	Indy Point (ARG)	R. Mandella	G. Stevens	Solid rebound win in the prep over the course and now faces better; might wind up a wiseguy pick	6-1
10	Big Blue Kitten	C. Brown	J. Bravo	Might have won the Hirsch were it not for a bit of stretch traffic; has improved, but this is wide open	5-1
11	Magician (IRE)	A. O'Brien	R. Moore	Did win the Irish 2000 Guineas, but his last start 4 1/2 months ago was poor; never been this distance	10-1
12	Real Solution	C. Brown	J. Castellano	Made a big wide run in the Hirsch, but hung late; wonder if he might not prefer a shorter distance	6-1

Juvenile »				Purse: $2,000,000, 1 1/16 miles
POST	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENT	ODDS
1	Smarty's Echo	A. Smith	E.T. Baird	Second in the Breeders' Futurity, which, it bears repeating, was slow; another unknown on dirt	30-1
2	Dance With Fate	P. Eurton	R. Bejarano	Second best in the FrontRunner as the favorite; must do better to hit the board in this tougher spot	10-1
3	Mexikoma	R. Mettee	A. Garcia	Even if he got a decent fig for his maiden romp at Delaware, he is still making a massive class jump	20-1
4	New Year's Day	B. Baffert	M. Garcia	Unraced since beating Bond Holder late in Del Mar meet; dirt is a question, but he works well on it	12-1
5	Bond Holder	D. O'Neill	M. Gutierrez	Got maiden win in the FrontRunner, the local prep at the distance over the track, but in slow time	6-1
6	Tap It Rich	B. Baffert	M. Smith	Only just recently beat maidens in debut, but did it routing over the track, ran fast enough to fit here	4-1
7	Cleburne	D. Romans	C. Nakatani	Upset an Iroquois that was even slower Beyer-wise than the Breeders' Futurity, but it was on dirt	20-1
8	Conquest Titan	M. Casse	E. Da Silva	Had a less than ideal trip in the Breeders' Futurity, but still must do way better to contend here	30-1
9	Rum Point	D. O'Neill	E. Maldanado	Was found wanting in the Del Mar and Breeders' Futurities, and dirt ability is unknown, too; next	30-1
10	We Miss Artie	T. Pletcher	J. Castellano	A decisive, if surprising winner of Breeders' Futurity; that was on Poly, though, and a very slow race	12-1
11	Medal Count	D. Romans	R. Albarado	Wasn't good enough in the turf-to-Poly Bourbon; hard to envision him being good enough in this	20-1
12	Diamond Bachelor	P. Biancone	J. Leparoux	Was part of fast pace, but was odds-on in Zuma Beach and couldn't hold; this is on dirt, and tougher	15-1
13	Havana	T. Pletcher	J. Velazquez	Yet to go 2 turns, but Champagne winner's two Beyers are higher than anything anyone else here has	5-2
14	Strong Mandate	D.W. Lukas	J. Rosario	As impressive as he was winning the Hopeful was as dull as he was in the Champagne; tricky read	10-1

Turf Sprint »				Purse: $1,000,000, about 6 1/2 furlongs, turf
POST	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENT	ODDS
1	Jeranimo	M. Pender	V. Espinoza	Will love getting back on turf as he won a Grade 1 on it three starts back; has no downhill experience	6-1
2	Rock Me Baby	C. Dollase	J. Talamo	Had a tough trip when seventh in the Eddie D., but that hardly means this will automatically be easier	20-1
3	Chips All In	J. Mullins	D. Moran	Prevailed in a blanket finish in the local prep for this; merits respect on his fine downhill course record	6-1
4	Reneesgotzip	P. Miller	E. Maldanado	Was a good third in this last year in her first and only start on turf; also been away, also runs big fresh	5-1
5	Caracortado	M. Machowsky	G. Stevens	Beaten less than a length when fourth in the Eddie D. off a near 21-month layoff; can improve off that	12-1
6	Boat Trip	M. Pender	R. Bejarano	Ran his best race yet when nosed by Chips All In in the Eddie D.; deep closer would need a good trip	10-1
7	Tightend Touchdown	J. Servis	J. Castellano	Hasn't finished worse than second in seven starts since the claim, but might prefer a shorter distance	20-1
8	Handsome Mike	D. O'Neill	M. Gutierrez	His four starts since his Poly win at Keeneland went from dull to dreadful; way too erratic to endorse	50-1
9	Capo Bastone	T. Pletcher	J. Rosario	Idle since his shocking King's Bishop upset; has never raced on turf, but won on Polytrack in his debut	15-1
10	Havelock	D. Miller	J. Graham	Rebounded from unsuccessful trip to England with a decisive Woodford score; added distance helps	15-1
11	Spring to the Sky	B. Brown	J. Velazquez	A steady sort when properly spotted, but he would be way out of his element in this; no thanks	30-1
12	Mizdirection	M. Puype	M. Smith	Away since June, but won this race last year off a longer layoff and is 5 for 5 on the downhill course	9-2
13	Dimension	C. Murphy	D. Moran	Overcame a slow start to win a turf sprint stakes at Woodbine two back, but against lesser company	20-1
14	Unbridled's Note	S. Asmussen	C. Nakatani	A narrowly beaten second in this last year as the tepid favorite; eligible to improve on recent return	6-1

POST	HORSE	TRAINER	JOCKEY	COMMENT	ODDS
1	Renee's Titan	D. O'Neill	M. Gutierrez	Hard to believe she beat Beholder in the Santa Ynez, especially how poor her four starts since were	50-1
2	Book Review	B. Baffert	R. Bejarano	Does have an established ceiling, but she can certainly contend against this group on her best effort	6-1
3	Starship Truffles	M. Wolfson	G. Stevens	Upset the Princess Rooney in July, but defeats in her two starts since don't exactly inspire confidence	20-1
4	Dance Card	K. McLaughlin	J. Rosario	Raced against the grain of the track in her return from a long absence; showed big potential last year	12-1
5	Teddy's Promise	R. Ellis	V. Espinoza	Won the local prep, again showing her affinity for SA; much more dangerous than she was last year	8-1
6	Ismene	W. Spawr	M. Smith	Has many layoff lines, and it has been almost two years since she ran well on a dirt surface; shaky	30-1
7	Summer Applause	J. Castellano	C. Brown	Another who is making an intriguing turnback in distance off a second in the Spinster on Polytrack	12-1
8	Dance to Bristol	O. Figgins	X. Perez	Compromised by a rail bias last time; not as automatic as she appeared during her 7 race win streak	5-1
9	Judy the Beauty	W. Ward	J. Velazquez	Stunned Groupie Doll in the TCA last time with her best performance to date; consistently runs well	6-1
10	Great Hot	A. Avila	C. Sutherland	Improved when second in the L. A. Woman, but was badly outrun in this race last year; inconsistent	20-1
11	Groupie Doll	W. Bradley	R. Maragh	The Groupie Doll of 2012 would be odds on and a mortal lock, but she doesn't seem the same horse	5-2
12	Sweet Lulu	J. Hollendorfer	J. Leparoux	Like the turnback from a route to the distance at which she won the Test, but 3yo must improve a bit	8-1

1	Dank	M. Stoute	R. Moore	Was not a star in Europe, yet came here and dominated in the Beverly D.; can she repeat that effort?	9-5
2	Romantica	A. Fabre	M. Guyon	Won an iffy Group 1 two starts back, but otherwise, she sports steady Group 2 to Group 3 form	8-1
3	Tiz Flirtatious	M. Jones	J. Leparoux	Got up to win the Rodeo Drive at this distance over this course, and is in the best form of her career	5-1
4	Alterite	C. Brown	J. Velazquez	Both of her U.S. performances were solid; taking on better older opponents this time, however	15-1
5	Lady of Shamrock	J. Sadler	V. Espinoza	After a very good campaign last year at 3, she never really took another step forward this season	20-1
6	Marketing Mix	T. Proctor	G. Stevens	Willing to forgive her Beverly D. loss, but had no excuse when nipped last time in the Rodeo Drive	9-2
7	Laughing	A. Goldberg	J. Lezcano	Won four stakes from as many starts this year and has also never been better, but has had great trips	6-1
8	Emollient	B. Mott	M. Smith	Spinster win over moderate elders was her third Gr. 1 win this year, but she faces much tougher here	12-1
9	Qushchi	H. G. Motion	E. Prado	Wasn't good enough when fourth in the Flower Bowl, and her Beyers suggest her form has plateaued	20-1
10	Kitten's Dumplings	M. Maker	J. Rosario	Also tackling older horses for the first time, but she has a pretty strong late kick when she gets pace	15-1

1	Artemis Agrotera	M. Hushion	J. Lezcano	Capitalized on Sweet Reason's trouble in the Frizette, but was good enough to do so; first route try	4-1
2	Rosalind	K. McPeek	J. Rosario	Though second to My Conquestadory in the Alcibiades and third in the Pocahontas, she's a cut below	15-1
3	Designer Legs	D. Stewart	J. Talamo	Soundly beaten in her last two after getting the Adirondack on a disqualification; Beyers are very low	30-1
4	Secret Compass	B. Baffert	J. Velazquez	Was a surprise when she won the Chandelier over the track, but that was not a quickly run race	6-1
5	Ria Antonia	J. Englehart	J. Castellano	Made no impact in the Frizette, yet that was a Beyer improvement off the barn and surface change	30-1
6	Concave	D. O'Neill	M. Gutierrez	Won the Sorrento over She's a Tiger; her form is okay, but she will have to raise her game Beyer-wise	10-1
7	Untapable	S. Asmussen	R. Napravnik	Liked how she successfully stretched out from 5.5 to 8.5 furlongs in Pocahontas off 2 1/2-month layoff	5-1
8	Scandalous Act	K. O'Connell	E. Nunez	Queen of Calder swept the Florida Stallion Series; steps into an entirely different league here, though	10-1
9	Sweet Reason	L. Gyarmati	A. Solis	Handled dry track when a much-the-best second in the Frizette; two turns the main question for her	5-2
10	She's a Tiger	J. Bonde	G. Stevens	Tried to break the Chandelier open on the far turn, only to be narrowly beaten; yet to run a bad one	6-1
