Top pick: #2 (BIT O LIGHTENING) - Broke his maiden for "Team Lake" on November 30, fresh off a seven-week break. Stalked and pounced that day and comes back quickly for his first against winners. Can win right back.
2nd pick: #9 (Now or Never) - Swamped a field in the swamp (the Meadowlands) on November 12, by scampering clear and increasing his margin at every call. Good barn (Alan Goldberg) and colt cost $110,000 as a yearling. He runs him back where he can't lose him.
3rd pick: #7 (Sergeant Keith) - Nice maiden win a week ago, stalking early and pulling clear when ready. Race was by far his best ever and it's a good sign that he comes-back quickly for this.
