I see only four horses with a plausible shot at winning the race:
Barbaro, Sweetnorthernsaint, Bernardini and Brother Derek.
I expect an even hotter pace than in the Derby as Bernardini and Like Now have to go to the lead. It is possible Barbaro, the best horse in the race, may be compromosied by this. Of the longer shots, only Greeley's Legacy seems to have a shot to close from off the pace to hit the board. That said, my predicted order of finish is:
1. Barbaro
2. Sweetnorthernsaint
3. Brother Derek
4. Bernardini
5. Greeley's Legacy
6. Diabolical
7. Like Now
8. Hemingway's Key
9. Double Platinum
While I'm picking Barbaro to win, Sweetnorthernsaint offers better betting value. I'll play both on top in tris and pick threes. I'm also playing the pick four and will use my top two picks on one ticket and my top four on another ticket.
