Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (DARK PRINCE) (7-2) - Speedy grey colt is stretching out in distance for trainer Bob Baffert and that's a strong 31% winning angle. He removes his blinkers (47%) and this $200K purchase will be tough on the front end.
2nd pick: #7 (Parsimony) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, the colt is stretching out following three straight good efforts sprinting at this level. One-run type is working fast and has his blinkers removed following a one race experiment.
3rd pick: #1 (Jefe) (5-2) - He's finished third in his first pair sprinting without really threatening. $220K son of 'Curlin' was almost 2 lengths back of 'Parsimony' June 22 and needs to improve in this longer race.
4th pick: #2 (Gunmetal Gray) (5-1) - Grey colt sold for $225,000 this past March as a 2yo in training. He raced both wide and evenly when debuting here in a sprint July 29 and has worked above average twice since. Bred for this longer trip, the hot riding Drayden Van Dyke is aboard.
