Justify (1st)
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Jockey: Mike Smith
After winning the Kentucky Derby by 2.5 lengths, Justify stayed undefeated with a dominant Preakness Stakes victory and now, he looks ready to become the first American Triple Crown winner since 2015.
Vino Rosso (5th)
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: John Velazquez
Pletcher’s Always Dreaming captured headlines for his 2017 Kentucky Derby win, but Vino Rosso barely made it to the top 10 in Louisville. Still, he makes for a potential upset pick since he’s rested up and looked fly at the Wood Memorial.
Bravazo (2nd)
Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas
Jockey: Luis Saez
He finished sixth in the Kentucky Derby, then skyrocketed to a second-place finish in Baltimore for the Preakness. He is Justify’s biggest threat.
Noble Indy (3rd)
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Javier Castellano
The second of Pletcher’s horses in the Belmont Stakes, he underwhelmed at the Kentucky Derby with a 17th-place finish but has three first-place runs in his last five races.
Tenfold (4th)
Trainer: Steve Asmussen
Jockey: Victor Espinoza
Tenfold did not race as a 2-year-old and missed this year’s Kentucky Derby after a fifth-place run in the Arkansas Derby, but with Espinoza, a three-time Preakness winner riding him, he secured a third-place in Baltimore.
