Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (HAPPY LIKE A FOOL) (2-1) - Filly was scratched out of yesterday's Belmont Futurity (G3) when she would have faced males to await this spot against her own sex. Speedy sort returns from England where she was competitive in a pair of Group 2 grass sprints. She was an easy winner when debuting on the Keeneland dirt April 9 and should take this field from gate-to-wire.
2nd pick: #5 (Honey Graeme) (5-2) - She won her debut going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 6 on the dirt at Saratoga, then finished close up in a $100K stakes on the all weather surface at Woodbine Sept. 9. Filly has a stalking style and should have a clear target in 'Happy Like a Fool' to track.
3rd pick: #2 (Take Charge Paula) (3-1) - She won her first pair sprinting, one each at Monmouth and Delaware, but had a rough trip before tiring in a G2 stakes at Churchill Downs Sept. 16 going two-turns. She worked fast here Oct. 7 and is dangerous if able to out-run 'Happy Like a Fool' in the first 1/4-mile.
