Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FARQUHAR) (3-1) - Son of 'Tale of the Cat' rallied to miss by a 1/2-length going a mile Oct. 20 at Santa Anita. It earned this $200K purchase a career best figure, and he should like the additional furlong he travels in this spot. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Muskoka) (8-1) - Longshot moves up in class after missing by a 'neck' going a mile for a $50K claiming price Oct. 12 at Santa Anita. It was his first start since Jan. 19, he was involved every step, and it was by far his best attempt in four appearances.
3rd pick: #3 (Ghost Street) (6-1) - A lightly raced 3yo by 'Ghostzapper,' he had a serious late traffic issue when finishing just under two lengths behind 'Farquhar' Oct. 20. It was his first back following a three-month freshening, and he's in the mix today at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Cardiff Cay) (5-2) - NYRA invader has run well in both starts, one each at Saratoga and Belmont. A $560,000 son of 'Medaglia d'Oro,' he was working fast before shipping, has blinkers on today, and Mike Smith is aboard. An obvious contender at a short price.
