The unofficial first day of the race to the triple crown.

1. Daddy Long Legs (30-1) Hard to overlook flop in Juvenile over this strip.

2. Optimizer (50-1) Triumph in potential swan song for “The Coach” unlikely.

3. Take Charge Indy (15-1) Borel factor cannot be taken lightly aboard Florida Derby winner.

4. Union Rags (9-2) Might need 20-horse field to get good trip.

5. Dullahan (8-1) Tries to make it consecutive “turf/synth” horses from off the pace.

6. Bodemeister (4-1) Massive price tag for Derby dream.

7. Rousing Sermon (50-1) California-bred can pick up some pieces late.

8. Creative Cause (12-1) Big grey needs to put mind on serious running through stretch.

9. Trinniberg (50-1) Winner if finish line was on other side of the track.

10. Daddy Nose Best (15-1) Consistent improvement accentuated by perfect pair as 3-year-old.

11. Alpha (15-1) Rajiv gets the nod over Rosie in the irons.

12. Prospective (30-1) 4-time winner proved out-classed in Juvenile.

13. Went the Day Well (20-1) Déjà vu all over again for Animal Kingdom connections?

14. Hansen (10-1) Repeat of stalking effort in Gotham is key to victory.

15. Gemologist (6-1) Luster of perfection is enticing.

16. El Padrino (20-1) Bejarano seeks back door score with 8th Derby mount on “other” Pletcher.

17. Done Talking (50-1) Nobody’s talking like long shot winner of Ill. Derby has a chance.

18. Sabercat (30-1) Not sold on path of success through Monmouth and Delta.

19. I’ll Have Another (12-1) Barn struggles with shippers. Keeps faith in inexperienced jock.

20. Liaison (50-1) Needs major reversal back to 2-year-old form.

I'll Have Another,becomes the first horse to win from post 19!!

I didn't fare so well this yr. Just missed the trifecta. My daughter picks the winner every yr. I gotta listen to her from now on. It was a great race though.
