Rachel Alexandra comes in as the 3/2 favorite followed by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and Derby runner up Pioneer of the Nile at 9/2.
This race looks to be wide open; if the track stays dry I expect a great race from Pioneer of the Nile and Friesan Fire. Friesan Fire finished a distant 19th in the Kentucky Derby anything less than placing will be a disappointment.

So, you don’t think Mine That Bird will finish in the money. Impressive. Probably won’t get to see the race as it happens, but will probably see the thousand or so replays after….
