Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (REGAL MINISTER) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 'neck' when racing at this tag and trip Oct 31 at Belmont Park. He had dropped down for that attempt and was claimed by John Toscano Jr.. Speed/stalker has worked twice since, has the rail, and his new trainer wins at a 22% rate first off the barn switch.
2nd pick: #3 (Mr Popsicle) (5-2) - Very fast from the gate, he's dropping back down after finishing a pace-setting second Nov 4 racing for a $25K tag. It was a career best effort and came first off a barn change. He should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #2 (Oldwick) (6-1) - Even-paced 5-year-old has been beaten by both 'Regal Minister' and 'Mr. Popsicle' in recent starts. Good barn (Steve Asmussen) brings him back quickly and had him work a solid half-mile Nov 29. Price play in the same race bets.
