Top pick: #3 (HOT TO TROT) - New York-Jersey shipper from the Shadwell/McLaughlin operation is sent down to their local trainer (Mike Pino) today. Colt destroyed a field of $25,000 maiden claimers on April 10th at Aqueduct, but had traffic woes in his first vs. winners, then had a poor getaway next out. Both of those were against much tougher than these, and believe he can take this group wire-to-wire.
2nd pick: #7 (Masharka) - He's run 2nd in two of his last three starts, both coming at this $5K price. Appears to be coming around after racing "over his head" most of his career. The main threat.
