Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (OURNATIONONPARADE) (7-2) - He's one of two entered by Kathy Ritvo, and the pair race uncoupled. 3yo tired going a mile after setting a quick/pressured pace March 27 after just missing in a sprint stakes Feb. 29. He worked fast April 18 and gets a slight edge here as he shortens up in distance.
2nd pick: #2 (Hop Kat) (5-2) - Colt by 'Stay Thirsty' was an impressive debut winner going five furlongs as the heavy favorite May 17 at Churchill Downs. Unraced since, he's working steadily at the Palm Meadows Center, and you already know that he can fire fresh. It would be no surprise if he wins this.
3rd pick: #4 (Miles Ahead) (10-1) - Speedy sort dueled with 'Ournationonparade' last out when going a mile, and both finished 'off the board.' A winner of his previous pair sprinting here, he shortens up, and enters off a near bullet half-mile breeze April 17.
4th pick: #6 (Double Crown) (6-1) - The second of the pair from Kathy Ritvo, he won his debut by a 'neck' at Laurel Sept. 8, and 'surprise surprise,' the horse that he narrowly defeated was barn-mate 'Ournationonparade.' Working fast and he returns a NEW gelding. A major threat if ready.
