There are a few 2015 Breeders Cup Classic 2015 contenders to American Pharoah, though he dodged a bullet this week with the top contender, Beholder, scratched due to a lung ailment.

Tonalist 6-1 – This horse will thrive off the distance of Keeneland. Tonalist, you might recall, upset California Chrome’s chances of taking the Triple Crown last year with a Belmont Stakes win.

He has dominant speed. There are, however, concerns over how well Tonalist has shipped.

Honor Code 6-1 – This powerful closer favors the dirt of Keeneland. Honor Code is the recent winner of the prestigious Whitney and previously won the Metropolitan Handicap.

Keen Ice 12-1 – Another horse that can go the distance, Keen Ice but speed could be an issue here.
