Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

Hal's Hope (20-1)
Dark bay or brown colt
Jockey: Roger Velez
Post postion: 8
Date Foaled: March 23, 1997
Sire: Jolie's Halo
Dam: Mia's Hope
Breeder: Harold J. Rose (Fla.)
Owner: Harold J. Rose
Trainer: Harold J. Rose
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  10 4 1 0
Graded Stakes Victories: Florida Derby (Grade I); Holy Bull Stakes (Grade III)
Last start (Finish): Kentucky Derby (16th)
The Line: He set fast fractions while leading the Derby for the first 3/4 mile, but tired after that, fading from third to 16th in the last quarter. He won't go out so fast on Saturday, so he figures to be closer to the lead through the stretch. If the Derby didn't take too much out of him, he has a slim chance of finishing in the money at Pimlico.
