Horse & M/L Odds | Record & Earnings | Jockey & Trainer
#1 BOURBONIC 15/1 | 7 Races 3-1-0 $465,880 | Kendrick Carmouche / Todd Pletcher
Comes in off a 13th place finish in Louisville, after shocking the field winning the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct at odds of 72-1 . He will be one of three entrants trained by Todd Pletcher, who has saddled three Belmont Stakes champions.
#2 ESSENTIAL QUALITY 2/1 | 6 Races 5-0-0 $2,415,144 | Luis Saez / Brad Cox
Last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner had his unbeaten streak snapped with a 4th place finish as the betting favorite in the Kentucky Derby. His sire Tapit has produced 3 of the last 7 winners of this race, and he’s owned by Godolphin Stable of Dubai’s royal family, which has won more than 285 Grade 1 races in 14 countries.
#3 ROMBAUER 3/1 | 7 Races 3-1-1 $890,500 | John Velazquez / Michael McCarthy
The Preakness winner used a strong stretch run to score the 11-1 upset in Baltimore. Will have a new rider today as Derby winning jockey John Velazquez takes over the reins from Flavien Prat. This Kentucky-bred has won 3 races in his career, one on dirt, one on synthetic, as well as the Preakness on dirt.
#4 HOT ROD CHARLIE 7/2 | 8 Races 2-1-3 $1,305,700 | Flavien Prat / Doug O’Neill
The third place finisher in the Derby, beaten by just over a length, he will again be ridden by Flavien Prat, who rode the Preakness winner at Pimlico. Turned in his best career effort with a sharp front-running score in the Louisiana Derby 6 weeks ago. West Coast based colt was the runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year at huge odds of 94-1.
#5 FRANCE GO DE INA 30/1 | 5 Races 2-0-0 $145,291 | Ricardo Santana Jr. / Hideyuki Mori
The Japanese based son of 2013 3 year old Champ Will Take Charge made his U.S. debut finishing 7th in the Preakness. He’s eligible for a $1 million bonus being offered to any Japanese based horse to win the Belmont.
#6 KNOWN AGENDA 6/1 | 7 Races 3-1-1 $541,700 | Irad Ortiz Jr. / Todd Pletcher
An impressive winner in the Florida Derby two races back, he was too far back to contend in the Derby and ended up finishing 9th. His owner Vincent Viola, also owns the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey league.
#7 ROCK YOUR WORLD 9/2 | 4 Races 3-0-0 $546,600 | Joel Rosario / John Sadler
West Coast based colt scored a wire-to-wire victory in the Santa Anita Derby, two back, but lost all chance at the start when bumped around leaving the gate in the Derby. Can be a pace factor with a cleaner trip today.
#8 OVERTOOK 20/1 | 5 Races 1-1-2 $131,380 | Manny Franco / Todd Pletcher
This horse, a son of top stallion Curlin, was a $1 million purchase as a yearling. He scored his lone career win in December, and has run twice this year, finishing second in the Withers Stakes, and third last time in the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont.
