Top pick: #6 (REFUND STATUS) - Gelding by "Toccet" raced evenly and finished 5th of 10, beaten 5 1/2 lengths when debuting here in a dirt sprint racing for $15K August 25th. Claimed that day by trainer Karl Broberg, he moves him up in class, stretches him out in distance, moves him to the turf, and removes his blinkers. New barn is strong fresh off the claim (25%) and this 2yo is working fast.
2nd pick: #3 (Wranglin Okie) - Gelding ran evenly in his debut, then showed solid early speed last out before weakening. Home-bred moves to the infield and tries two-turns this evening. His speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #8 (Big Red Okie) - Nice educational first outing saw him race evenly in a large field(11) and was beatewn just under 11 lengths in a conteat dominated by the top two finishers. Barn (Clint Stuart) is better than it's record and this gelding must be left in the mix.
