4 horses other then Pharoah come from the Derby to take him on. Mr. Z will race for the first time for his new owners. Divining Rod is considered the best of the 3 new shooters. Trevor McCarthy is trying to become the first local jock to win in quite some time (Jeremy Rose was based at Delaware when he won on Afleet Alex). History is not the kindest to runner up finishers in the Derby, so I don't think Firing Line will do so well. Bodhisattva and Tale of Verve have no chance. Dortmund could upset his stablemate, but I really like Danzig Moon here.

Good luck to all and safe travels!
