Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HOWBOUTTHEMCOWBOYS) (8-5) - Lasix is added to gelding who chased a 'much the best' winner while holding down the place spot when debuting here May 25. The leading trainer here (Jamie Ness) has won with 9 of 19 second-time starters (37%) over the past 17 months and this 2-year-old by 'Congaree' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Tactical Hero) (3-1) - Debuting won of 'Street Hero' debuts of a pair of back-to-back bullet breezes here at Delaware. Initially prepared at the Aiken Training Center in So. Carolina, a sharp three-furlong gate work June 4 makes him a serious threat first out.
3rd pick: #2 (Thurman Merman) (6-1) - Colt is in the barn of veteran Scott Lake, who was the leading trainer here many times in days gone by. This debuting colt has the rail and a and all four local breezes are above average. Dangerous at a square price.
