Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (HARLEM HEIGHTS) (4-1) - A Phipp's homebred by 'Bernardini,' she's been un-raced since the early Fall when she showed ability in a pair of starts at this level which had strong fields. Training above average for Hall of Famer' 'Shug' McGaughey, she draws a fine post, has blinkers on, and I give her a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #4 (Orsay) (5-2) - This daughter of 'Pioneer of the Nile' sold for $1,200,000 as a Saratoga Select Yearling back in Aug. of 2018. Competitive in one of two last Fall, she has a solid series of works showing for Chad Brown, 45 of 157 (29%) off of long layoffs in 2019-20, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Back Channel) (3-1) - A $400,000 filly by 'Liam's Map,' she finished 2nd of five, beaten by just over four lengths when debuting here at 6.5 furlongs June 13. She showed early speed, earned a nice figure, and trainer Linda Rice has won with 18 of 73 (26%) second time out since Jan. 1 of 2019.
