Top pick: #4 (KIERNAN'S LEGACY) - He finished a solid third here April 30th in a very strong starter-allowance field. Effort was his first off a Lake claim at Gulfstream and a subsequent two month break. Veteran has a flexible style and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Elusive Deputy) - Impressive debut saw this 3-year-old go wire-to-wire at Oaklawn Park March 20 stopping the clock in 1:10.20. Trainer Tim Ritchey sent right into a $75K stakes in his first facing winners and colt was involved in a pace-duel thru suicidial fractions before tiring. Major player today as he drops down in class and faces older runners.
