Romans Stretches out following blowout win at PRX versus N2X allowance foes while earning creditable 94 Beyer 5-1 Ever Rider (Arg) M. Munoz So. American import Calidoscopio won this race 2012, his form was far better than this Argentina upsetter 6-1 Old Time Hockey T.

Catalano Low-rated turf outings at AP and KD, then produced surprise longshot win on chaotic KEE Polytrack 20-1 Shamshon (IRE) A. Kitchingman Foiled as favorite against G3 company UK, this seems like a reach for colt unproven beyond 5f 20-1 We Miss Artie T. Pletcher Turf form was hardly impressive, he improved on KEE Polytrack to win G1 going away 20-1 Smarty's Echo A. Smith Finished third only start on turf, first preference is main-track BC Juvenile 30-1 Bon Accord A.

Sano Though his best recent race was turf, surface-switcher still maiden after five starts 30-1 All Cash D.W. Lukas Had trouble in off-turf stakes, Hall of Fame trainer still has a few tricks up sleeve 30-1 ========================================================================================= Dirt Mile Purse: $1,000,000, 1 mile HORSE TRAINER COMMENT ODDS Goldencents D. O'Neill Runner-up three straight graded sprints as favorite, stretching out again on track where he won SA Derby 3-1 Verrazano T. Pletcher Top colt when fires, won 6 of 8, does not always show up on big-race days such as Travers/Kentucky Derby 7-2 Brujo de Olleros R.

Baffert His best races have been on Polytrack at Del Mar, though he did win soft G2 for 4yos on SA dirt 12-1 Alpha K. McLaughlin Seems odd two-time G1 winner (Woodward, Travers) ranked this far down, prefers wet, no rain forecast 12-1 Centralintelligence R.

O'Neill Undefeated three California starts since arriving from Ireland, quality of recent foes perhaps dubious 4-1 Vorda (FR) P. Sogorb Outstanding form in France includes G1 win, 4-for-5 record, European import likely to vie for favoritism 9-2 My Conquestadory M. Casse Recent G1 win KEE Poly more hype than substance, but smashing debut two back G2 WO was very special 5-1 Chriselliam (IRE) C. Hills Scored upset G1 Newmarket, import with proper credentials, Europeans hold strong hand this field 6-1 Testa Rossi (FR) C.
