30-1
Last Race - Track: Rebel, OP, March 14, 2nd by 3/4
Owner: Calumet Farm
Sire: Union Rags
JP: Ambitious comeback spot for a colt who hasn't raced since March, but owner is known for aiming high.MM: Taking all the worst of it here when making first start since surgery and layoff; will be a big tote price again.

Last Race - Track: Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5, 3rd by 3 1/4
Owner: Allied Racing Stable
Sire: Giant's Causeway
JP: After eventful trip in Blue Grass, blew up Derby gimmicks with best effort of his career. Gave 'em a scare on turn.MM: Colt whose Oaklawn upset in April was mitigated by his Blue Grass dud sends mixed signals; live longshot, though.

Last Race - Track: Ellis Park Derby, EP, Aug. 9, 1st by 3 1/4
Owner: Bruce Lunsford
Sire: Bernardini
JP: Unfortunate he had ill-timed setback Derby week, but based on video of recent works he's bounced right back.MM: Just hated that he had to miss the Derby, given the way it was run, but here's a prime chance to show he's best in class.

Last Race - Track: Kentucky Oaks, CD, Sept. 4, 2nd by 2 1/2
Owner: Peter J. Callahan
Sire: Daredevil
JP: Filly has traveled far and wide, been campaigned vs. the best. Fires every time, but will sked finally catch up with her?MM: With a G1 win to her credit, why not try the boys? Hoping that a deed of real sportsmanship goes unpunished.

Last Race - Track: Shared Belief, DMR, Aug. 1, 1st by 3/4
Owner: Albaugh Family Stables and Spendthrift Farm
Sire: Pioneerof the Nile
JP: Went off form in spring, looked like different horse preceding Derby scratch with game win in Shared Belief, strong drills.MM: Was the Shared Belief an aberration, or is he one of the 3yo elites? Hoping he'll be on his best behavior Saturday.

Last Race - Track: Jim Dandy, SAR, Sept. 5, 3rd by 1 1/2
Owner: Grupo Seven C Stable
Sire: Tapiture
JP: Certainly better than he was earlier in year, but looks to be a cut below the best based on his last two starts.MM: One of 2 supplements in here (with Liveyourbeastlife), he's never really shown to belong with the best; big longshot.

15-1
Last Race - Track: Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5, 8th by 13 3/4
Owner: John Fanelli, Cash Is King LLC, LC Racing, Paul Braverman & Team Hanley
Sire: Cross Traffic
JP: Adds more pace to lineup. Final two-turn dirt G1 for 3yos-only this year, so can't blame for trying one last time.MM: 11th-hour entry had no apparent excuse in the Derby after being so very consistent; tough gauge off latest.

Last Race - Track: Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5, 5th by 7
Owner: George E. Hall and Sport BLX Thoroughbreds
Sire: Honor Code
JP: Only horse who will run in all 3 Triple Crown races. Made up good ground late in Derby, continuing upward trajectory.MM: Asmussen sure is bullish on his chances after seeing how the colt exited the Derby, his first try for the HOF trainer.

Last Race - Track: Kentucky Derby, CD, Sept. 5, 1st by 1 1/4
Owner: Spendthrift Farm, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, and MyRaceHorse Stable
Sire: Into Mischief
JP: Was skeptical of ability to handle anything beyond 1 1/8 miles but proved best Derby Day. Overall record is stellar.MM: Made fools of a lot of us when turning back all comers in historic Derby tally; let's see that again, big fella.

Last Race - Track: Pegasus, MTH, Aug. 15th, 1st by 2 1/4
Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC
Sire: Uncle Mo
JP: Much the best over fairly soft field in Pegasus. Progressive colt comes off career-best Beyer for outstanding trainer.MM: Been well managed to date as Asmussen hand-picked his spots, but now faces the music; be one of the longer prices.

Last Race - Track: Jim Dandy, SAR, Sept. 5, 2nd by 3/4
Owner: William H. Lawrence
Sire: Ghostzapper
JP: Had solid pace into which to run in Jim Dandy and made some progress late, but not sure he's quite this good yet.MM: Supplementary entry jumped up with that big effort at 14-1 in the Jim Dandy, but something even better is required here.
