From Forbes.com: "At one time considered among the leaders of his cohort, this four-year-old was a promising runner on the Kentucky Derby trail last year before tailing off when the big races came along. He was second in the Grade 1 Travers last year behind fellow rival here West Coast; he was third in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic behind the last year’s Classic winner Gun Runner and West Coast. He returned from an eighth-place finish in the Group 1 Dubai World Cup in March to a five-month layoff, winning his first start back in a modest race at Gulfstream Park, then running second to Yoshida (also entered here) in the Grade 1 Woodward at Saratoga. He gets a top jockey in Ortiz, and as this horse purchased for $16,000 has earned $3 million, he doesn’t have a lot to prove, but that Grade 1 win has so far eluded him. "
Irad Ortiz Jr. is scheduled to ride Gunnevera for the first time in the Classic.
“There is speed in the race," Sano said of the 7th place Kentucky Derby finisher. "I told the jockey there’s no need to rush my horse. His best chance to win the race is to close."
