Sire: Cryptoclearance

Breeder: Tall Oaks Farm (Canada)
Sex: Colt
Trainer: Elliott Walden

Jockey: Gary Stevens

Post Position: 10
Morning Line Odds: 3-1

Preview: Second-place Derby finisher stands an even better chance with the addition of hall-of-fame jockey Gary Stevens picking up the mount in place of Alex Solis. Stevens guided Indian Charlie to a third-place finish in the Derby but was left without a mount when the colt was pulled from the Preakness. Solis had ridden Victory Gallop to a win in the Arkansas Derby over previously unbeaten Horse of the Year Favorite Trick in his first time on the colt. The Rebel Stakes winner and son of Cryptoclearance has five wins in eight lifetime starts. Born on May 30th, Victory Gallop has yet to reach his third birthday. Stevens won the Preakness last year aboard Silver Charm. Is the 3-1 third choice in the morning line.
