Top pick: #2 (THEYCALLHIMMRBRIGGS) - Colt drew a tough post for his debut and after chasing the pace while very wide he tired badly down the stretch to finish 10th of 12 in a first outing that's a bit better than it looks. Trainer Bob Reid drops his price in half and this 3yo draws a much better post for today's contest. I Think he can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #6 (Laidbackjack) - Exits the same race as the top pick and this home-bred colt finished a strong third as he pressed the pace while a bit wide, made a strong bid at the head of the stretch and continued on well to finish third. A repeat of that performance makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Hawk Solis) - Colt is working fast for his debut and that includes a bullet half mile breeze from the gate Feb. 21. In a good small barn and he draws the rail for his first start. Can contend for the win.
