Top pick: #2 (TOAST TO DUSTY) - Claimed out of a pace-setting third place finish on November 10, by the Scott Lake barn. On the shelf since, this speedy colt has a fast work on Dec. 9, and the trainer specializes in these types of layoffs.
2nd pick: #4 (Alyjen's Speed) - Dropped in price last out, he went right to the front on a sloppy track and was never threatened as he cleared the 2l condition. Lightly raced and improving for a very good barn (Bob Seeger).
