Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HOWELL MOUNTAIN) (5-1) - Every horse in this contest is well bred and in top barns. This son of 'Bernardini' raced wide and evenly when debuting at his level and distance April 24 at Aqueduct. Trainer Todd Pletcher (26% second time out) has breezed him three times on the deep training track at Saratoga and he can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Seat of Honor) (3-1) - Home bred by 'Tapit' has been on the sidelines since Nov 22. Stretch runner was improving at that time and finished second at this level and distance when last in action. Very dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Travis County) (6-1) - Another son of Tapit,' he ran evenly while finishing in front of 'Howell Mountain' April 24 at Aqueduct. Well bet in both outings, $850,000 purchase is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
4th pick: #2 (Forever d'Oro) (5-2) - Kentucky shipper improved his positions in both starts, one each at Keeneland and Churchill Downs. Working fast here before heading east, he must be left in the mix.
