Top pick: #6 (O'KID) - Trainer Sydney Dutrow has the same magic as the rest of his family with claiming stock and this gelding was taken on Feb. 14 at Aqueduct fo $25K. Drops off a 3 1/2 month vacation and "Syd" has won back with nine of his last 18 after the purchase. Has turf experience and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Zappa) - California invader brings a whole lot of war stories to tell (55-13-5-10) and is still capable of beating a bunch like this. Has a new trainer (Pete Miller) and he adds blinkers to this old-timer. Strong win factor.
3rd pick: #2 (Of All Times) - He shown some slipage the past year and has been at and around this tag for some time now. Speed/stalker had a nice sprint prep here May 21, his first race in three months and can be competitive again today as he stretches-out in distance.
