Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MAC NORTH) (7-2) - He's racing first off a Hugh McMahon claim (14%), and new trainer is moving him up in class. He finished an even 3rd June 9 at Churchill Downs going seven furlongs for a $30K tag the day he switched barns. Gets a very slight edge in what appears to be a three-horse win mix.
2nd pick: #3 (Driving Me Crazy) (8-5) - The probable favorite, grey colt has been freshened up since May 13. He finished 2nd during the spring in both starts in Maryland, one each at Pimlico and Laurel. Speed/stalker cost $200,000 and is in a top NYRA based barn (Linda Rice). A very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Piece of Eight) (3-1) - Gelding ships from Philly Park where he missed by a 'neck' at this distance June 20 racing for a $40K tag. A career best, it was his first back following a two-month break. He's in the win mix despite moving up in class.
