Borel opts for Rachel Alexandra. He should know. Favorable Post. 5 lb weight advantage. Versatile running style. Eclipse Award trainer. Winner fast , wet and synthetic tracks.

Filly has dominated her foes in her four starts this year, the boys don't appear overwhelming and she clearly is the one to beat.

Each of the five "contenders" in my odds line is an underlay, with morning-line odds that are lower than my fair odds.

It would be easy to go for Rachel Alexandra with Borel defecting as the Bird's rider, but we think he can do it again. Well-rested and with plenty of speed, Big Drama would make a good value wager at 6 to 1 or better.

His Sunland race was much better than people realize, and he may prove the Derby was no fluke.

Mine That Bird won the prestigious Kentucky Derby in textbook classic big win style. Continues to improve posting high triple digit speed rating. Definitely Triple Crown material in all respects!

Lost all chance at start in Derby and wasn't persevered with. Goes into this race as a fresh horse. Note sharp workout Tuesday.

Wow!! Winning jockey of the Kentucky Derby gets off? Unheard of. The filly is great, but against the boys. Dry track, shorter distance and sharp turns, I'll take the speed, Frirsan Fire.

On paper, Rachel Alexandra looks unbeatable. Borel passing on a chance to ride a Triple Crown victor speaks volumes. Papa Clem can upset at a price.

My heart wants me to go with Derby winner, but I have stick with the Pioneer. He looked like a winner at head of stretch.

We liked him in the Kentucky Derby and he ran a gutsy second, so we'll stick with him again at a nice price!

Big Drama Gets better w/every race. At Calder, he was running away from the field. Breeding suggests he could certainly go the extra 1/8 mi. His figures & Johnny V put him in the mix.

General Quarters -- for value

Weather & distance big factors in this race. Several pace scenarios, so I'll go for price horses. Don't see any sure things in this race.

Musket Man

Box #2, #3, #6 and #13

Filly may not be quite good enough. Look for more from Musket Man. Terrain may surprise at odds. Mine That Bird loses jockey, needs trip.

Take The Point

Musket man

Musket Man continues to impress. Take The Point will score the second big upset in the triple crown.
