Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CALORIC) (2-1) - Grey colt raced evenly when debuting Oct 15 facing tougher. $190K son of 'Stay Thirsty' is in the barn of Todd Pletcher (32% 2nd time out) and he drops him into a claimer (33%). Working fine, he meets a weak field and should break his maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Gran King of Kings) (4-1) - Bet down to 4-1 when debuting for a $50,000 claiming price Nov 24, he was bumped at the break before tiring after rushing up after tat miscue. Winning barn (Vic Barboza) drops him down and trainer has won with 11 of 36 (31%) with maidens making their second start.
3rd pick: #9 (Salinger) (6-1) - Well bred colt was never involved when debuting against tougher Oct 27 at Laurel. Trainer Tom Albertrani drops him down and adds both blinkers and lasix. If son of 'Distorted Humor' has any ability it will show today.
