| 1 | East Avenue 95-86 | Brendan Walsh Tyler Gaffalione | 2-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Perfect and untested in two starts, including KEE romp over Ferocious; speedy colt must break well from inside post. | ||||||

Getaway Car
86-70-85
|
Bob Baffert Juan Hernandez | 20-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: No match for stablemate Citizen Bull in the American Pharoah after applying token pressure; must do better. | ||||||
| 3 |
Hill Road
NA-NA
|
Adrian Murray Umberto Rispoli | 50-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Irish-based runner will try dirt; dam is a half-sister to BC Dirt Mile winner City of Light, but this is a tall order. | ||||||
| 4 | Ferocious 87-87-96 | Gustavo Delgado Javier Castellano | 6-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Dazzling Saratoga debut winner has had excuses when twice secoond as heavy fave; may finally be a playable price. | ||||||
| 5 |
Jonathan's Way
90-85
|
Phil Bauer Joel Rosario | 5-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Overcame poor start to win Spa debut impressively; more professional last time, but the waters get deeper now. | ||||||

Citizen Bull
89-70-84
|
Bob Baffert Martin García | 6-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Had everything his own way in local prep, but may be improving at right time; has been training great for this. | ||||||
| 7 |
Gaming
82-81
|
Bob Baffert Irad Ortiz, Jr. | 10-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Sire and damsire both won this race; skipped American Pharoah, but easily beat that race's winner at Del Mar. | ||||||
| 8 | Shin Believe NA | Hideyuki Mori Yutaka Take | 15-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: This is probably just too much too soon, but U.S.-bred colt was pretty impressive going 9F on debut in Japan. | ||||||
| 9 | Ecoro Azel NA-NA | Hideyuki Mori Akira Sugawara | 50-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Was no match for Juvenile Fillies contender American Bikini last time in Japan; has never raced beyond 7F. | ||||||
| 10 | Chancer McPatrick 92-88-81 | Chad Brown Flavien Prat | 3-1 | |||
|
||||||
|
||||||
| DA: Undefeated colt should relish first two-turn test, but wonder if Del Mar will suit dramatic last-to-first running style. | ||||||

The second is through a system that allows horses to earn points based on their performance in major races throughout the year. The third way to be selected is to be chosen by a panel of experts. There are a maximum of 14 horses in each Breeders' Cup race, except the Dirt Mile and Juvenile Turf Sprint, which are limited to 12 starters.
