Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (LIAM'S PRINCE) (3-1) - He seems best on the grass, but New York invader has a speed/stalking style, and is dropping down in class. In this 'off' the turf contest his outside post is a plus, and he seems set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #7 (Captain Carchy) (5-2) - The probable favorite, his record on the dirt stands at 12-0-6-3. Stalker has never run on a wet track as is the case with most horses that have come from California. A strong win candidate if he handles the muddy surface.
3rd pick: #6 (Mr Hamilton) (4-1) - Speedy sort is dropping into a claimer and moves back to the dirt. He ran 2nd here May 23 on the main track, then tired last out sprinting on the grass. In the barn of leading trainer Ramon Preciado, and lightly raced 3yo is in the three horse win mix.
