Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (OLD FASHIONED) - Poor ride last out, not a lack of talent cost him the win. Talented runner was much closer to a fast pace than he should have been and it cost him late. Dominguez is off and colt's former rider Terry Thompson is back aboard. All the speed (and plenty of it) is to his left in the gate. Wins this around the far turn.

2nd pick: #3 (Flat Out) - Longshot finished fourth to the top pick on February 16, despite a very poor start. Freshened-up since that effort, he's working well and could make some serious late noise this afternoon.

3rd pick: #9 (Win Willy) - He defeated the top pick at big odds on March 14, in the "Rebel" stakes. A fast pace played to his tactics, and that combined with the favorite receiving a "poor" ride combined for the upset. He may not be as fortunate this afternoon.
