POST	SIRE	- designates Keeneland sales graduate	TRACK ODDS	WATCHMAKER ODDS	BEST BEYER	DERBY FINISH, BEYER	JAY PRIVMAN AND MIKE WATCHMAKER COMMENTS
	War of Will		4-1	7-2	95	8th (pl. 7th), 95	JP: Jock was sitting with a ton of horse down backside, into far turn, then had to avoid weaving leader.
	by War Front						MW: Was beaten two lengths by the third finisher in the Derby after trouble worth a whole lot more.
	Owner: Gary Barber; Trainer: Mark Casse; Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione

	Bourbon War		12-1	8-1	93	**	JP: He turned in better-than-looked effort in Fla. Derby that lacked pace. Should get better setup here.
	by Tapit						MW: He's close to Code of Honor. Given that one's Derby showing, albeit with good trip, he's a threat.
	Owner: Bourbon Lane Stable & Lake Star Stable; Trainer: Mark Hennig; Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.

	Warrior's Charge		12-1	15-1	97	**	JP: Pair of dynamic wins last two starts, making stakes debut, owners paid $150K fee to be able to run.
	by Munnings						MW: Went all the way in those two recent wins. Not sure he'll enjoy a comfortable early lead this time.
	Owner: Ten Strike Racing & Madaket Stables; Trainer: Brad Cox; Javier Castellano

	Improbable		5-2	2-1	99	5th (pl. 4th), 96	JP: Raced in traffic a good part of the Derby but got out in upper stretch and wasn't good enough late.
	by City Zip						MW: The Derby was the first time he finished worse than second. Expecting a better effort on fast track.
	Owner: WinStar Farm, China Horse Club & Starlight Racing; Trainer: Bob Baffert; Jockey: Mike Smith

	Owendale		10-1	10-1	98	**	JP: After disappointing in Risen Star, was freshened and bounced back with eye-catching Lexington win.
	by Into Mischief						MW: Was on him in Risen Star, so it figures he won his starts before and after. Still, he's not out of this.
	Owner: Rupp Racing; Trainer: Brad Cox; Jockey: Florent Geroux

	Market King		30-1	50-1	83	**	JP: Of those closest to Blue Grass pace, most of whom finished in prominent positions, he ran the worst.
	by Into Mischief						MW: He does not show a race that suggests he can compete at this level and he has had eight starts.
	Owner: Robert Baker & William Mack; Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas; Jon Court

	Alwaysmining		8-1	10-1	96	**	JP: Local superstar heads into state's biggest race riding crest of six-race winning streak, all at Laurel.
	by Stay Thirsty						MW: Had easy trips in short fields against much softer. Odds will be lower than his actual chance to win.
	Owner: Runnymeade Racing; Trainer: Kelly Rubley; Jockey: Daniel Centeno

	Signalman		30-1	20-1	88	**	JP: Thought he had very good trip in Blue Grass, simply wasn't good enough. Career-best Beyer of just 88.
	by General Quarters						MW: Also had a great setup in the Fountain of Youth and never ran a step, seems too slow for these.
	Owner: Tommie Lewis, Steve Crabtree, et al; Trainer: Kenny McPeek; Brian Hernandez Jr.

	Bodexpress		20-1	30-1	96	14th (pl. 13th), 80	JP: Thought he was out of gas when forced to take up sharply near quarter pole. Should add to pace.
	by Bodemeister						MW: Yes, he was second to Maximum Security in Fla. Derby, a conveyor belt race. He's still a maiden.
	Owner: Top Racing, Global Thoroughbred, et al; Trainer: Gustavo Delgado; Jockey: John Velazquez

	Everfast		50-1	50-1	83	**	JP: Lost nine straight since debut win at Ellis last August. Well beaten in Fla. Derby, Fountain of Youth.
	by Take Charge Indy						MW: Seems so overmatched on paper that the maiden Bodexpress threatens to be more competitive.
	Owner: Calumet Farm; Trainer: Dale Romans; Jockey: Joel Rosario

	Laughing Fox		20-1	15-1	91	**	JP: Was on worst part of track rallying in Ark. Derby when right behind Country House, won next out.
	by Union Rags						MW: This barn always merits respect, but this colt looks to be in more than just a little too deep here.
	Owner: Alex & JoAnn Lieblong; Trainer: Steve Asmussen; Jockey: Ricardo Santana Jr.

	Anothertwistafate		6-1	10-1	95	**	JP: Second best in Lexington to Owendale, wore front wraps for first time that day. Ortiz tries his hand.
	by Scat Daddy						MW: Hasn't had the best of trips finishing second twice since moving back to dirt, can be in the mix.
	Owner: Peter Redekop B. C. Ltd; Trainer: Blaine Wright; Jockey: Jose Ortiz

	Win Win Win		15-1	12-1	99s	10th (pl. 9th), 89	JP: Raced well back early in Derby, then couldn't find a path when it was time to rally, finished evenly.
	by Hat Trick						MW: His route Beyers in his last three were lower than his sprint Beyer four back, distance a question.
	Owner: Live Oak Plantation; Trainer: Mike Trombetta; Jockey: Julian Pimentel
