Top pick: #4 (DARRIN'S DILEMMA) - Heavily bet in his two starts last spring, he showed good speed in each and finished second after pressing the pace until the last 1/16th when he tired slightly. Colt by "Freud" is working steadily for his first race since late June and runs today off a trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez (37% with new arrivals to his barn). Dominguez is back aboard and this 3yo is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Belso Wild) - Son of "Offlee Wild" is training frequently and well above average for his first outing. He has a great work pattern with one sharp gate drill at Belmont Feb. 20 surrounded by many fine breezes. In a good barn, has the rail, and the trainer/rider combo of Bruce Brown/Cornelio Velasquez wins at a 24% clip.
