Since I’ll Have Another’s scratch, Dullahan has been going off as the favorite consistently. Just minutes before post time, however, Union Rags has caught up. Both horses are at 5/2 odds, dead even, as more and more bettors have decided to go with trainer Michael Matz’s Union Rags, He will be mounted by jockey John Velazquez, who has had a good day so far at Aqueduct. It’s Velazquez’s first time racing Union Rags, but he won the 2007 Belmont atop Rags-to-Riches despite having never ridden him before.
