Uncle Vinny has been installed as the morning line favorite in the contentious field at odds of 5-2 for trainer Todd Pletcher. Purchased for $175,000 as a yearling by Starlight Racing, the bay colt is from the first crop from juvenile champion Uncle Mo. After breaking his maiden in his debut, he finished sixth in the Tremont Stakes and won the Sanford Stakes (G3) via disqualification last time out. John Velazquez will be aboard and they will break from post seven.
Second choice at 3-1 on the morning line is Magna Light for trainer Rudy Rodriguez. A bay son of Magna Graduate, he broke his maiden in his first start and finished first in the Sanford Stakes (G3) but was disqualified and placed third after interfering in the stretch. He will be trying to avenge that loss and will break from the rail under jockey Jose Ortiz.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 4-1 is Ralis for trainer Doug O’Neill. A bay son of Square Eddie owned and bred by Reddam Racing, he has one win from four starts and will be trying to earn his first stakes victory. He was second in the Graduation Stakes at Del Mar last time out and will be making his first start on the East Coast. Javier Castellano will be aboard from post six.
