Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (REFINANCE) (3-1) - Away from action for just over a year home bred finished second in both starts at that time to begin his career. Four-year-old has a new trainer (Chris Clement 23% with new arrivals) and is at 19% following long layoffs. Colt worked this past winter at Payson park in Florida and his latest drill was a sharp half-mile on the training track at Saratoga May 16. Can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Britain) (4-1) - From the Pletcher barn, gelding is dropping into a claimer, switches from grass to dirt, and shortens up in distance. His last two drills at Saratoga are above average and Pletcher has won with 17 of 44 (39%) on this particular drop with maidens over the past 17.5-months.
3rd pick: #2 (Terminal Speed) (10-1) - $110K purchase makes his debut off a strong series of works dating back to early December. Longshot is from a trainer (Mike Mariena) who not many years ago specialized with first-time-starters.
4th pick: #8 (Tanzanite) (3-1) - Freshened up since April 9, colt missed by less than a length at this distance for a $50K tag at Oaklawn Park. He has early speed and is dangerous in this spot.
