Morning Line: 4-5

Owner: China Horse Club, et. al.

Trainer: Bob Baffert. Jockey: Mike Smith.

Last three: Preakness Stakes (1st), Kentucky Derby (1st), Santa Anita Derby (1st).

DJ's breakdown: Unbeaten in five starts, Derby and Preakness winner trying to become the 13th to win the Triple Crown. Should go right to the front and keep on going.

Morning Line: 30-1

Owner: Albaugh Family Stables

Trainer: Dale L. Romans. Jockey: Robby Albarado.

Last three: Kentucky Derby (16th), Blue Grass Stakes (3rd), Gotham Stakes (3rd).

DJ's breakdown: Finished 16th in the Derby, 41 lengths behind Justify. His very best race is not close to Justify's worst. Son of 2012 Belmont winner Union Rags.

Morning Line: 8-1

Owner: Calumet Farm

Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas. Jockey: Luis Saez.

Last three: Preakness Stakes (2nd), Kentucky Derby (6th), Louisiana Derby (8th).

DJ's breakdown: Fast closing second in the Preakness brought him within a half-length of Justify, but really looked like he had nothing left after the wire.

Morning Line: 9-2

Owner: Juddmonte Farms

Trainer: Bill Mott. Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr.

Last three: Kentucky Derby (7th), Florida Derby (2nd), Maiden (Gulfstream, 1st).

DJ's breakdown: Had no chance in the Derby after running into traffic twice during the race. Flying during the gallop out. Absolutely bred for the mile and a half.

Morning Line: 30-1

Owner: Gary & Mary West Stables

Trainer: Bob Baffert. Jockey: Florent Geroux.

Last three: Pat Day Mile (12th), Wood Memorial (3rd), Maiden/Santa Anita (1st).

DJ's breakdown: Has won just once, but another of trainer Bob Baffert's owners obviously wanted to run. One-paced colt has great bloodlines, but lacks speed.

Morning Line: 12-1

Owner: Phoenix Thoroughbred, Rob Gronkowski

Trainer: Chad Brown. Jockey: Jose Ortiz.

Last three: Burradon Stakes (1st), Conditions Stakes/Kempton (1st), Allowance/Newcastle (1st).

DJ's breakdown: First race on dirt for top trainer Chad Brown after running on artificial and grass surfaces in England. Gronk will likely lower the odds.

Morning Line: 12-1

Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds

Trainer: Steve Asmussen. Jockey: Ricardo Santana Jr.

Last three: Preakness Stakes (3rd), Arkansas Derby (5th), Allowance/Oaklawn (1st).

DJ's breakdown: Gets better with every start with his Preakness third being his best yet. Steve Asmussen is one of America's best big-race trainers.

Morning Line: 8-1

Owner: Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable

Trainer: Todd Pletcher. Jockey: John Velazquez.

Last three: Kentucky Derby (9th), Wood Memorial (1st), Tampa Bay Derby (4th).

DJ's breakdown: Trainer Todd Pletcher has just about mastered the Derby to Belmont move. Forget this colt's Derby, when he hated the slop. Dangerous.

Morning Line: 30-1

Owner: WinStar Farm LLC and Repole Stable

Trainer: Todd Pletcher. Jockey: Javier Castellano.

Last three: Kentucky Derby (17th), Louisiana Derby (1st), Risen Star Stakes (3rd).

DJ's breakdown: Has the second-best early speed, behind Justify, so should be prominent early. Finished 17th in the Derby, but is certainly better than that.

Morning Line: 15-1

Owner: Greg Hall, SanJay Racing, Brooke Hubbard

Trainer: Doug O'Neill. Jockey: Kyle Frey.

Last three: Peter Pan Stakes (1st), Blue Grass Stakes (5th), Jeff Ruby Stakes (1st).

DJ's breakdown: Won the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park, but ran quite slowly. Would have to improve dramatically to have any chance at an upset.

Saturday is the 45th anniversary of the greatest performance in the history of horse racing and Chic Anderson's historic description of Secretariat — "He is moving like a tremendous machine" — was dead on.
