Top pick: #1 (BEHIND THE BOSSMAN) (2-1) - Colt has shown excellent early speed in his first pair and was claimed by Jeff Mullins for $40K at Del Mar on Aug. 9. New barn wins at a 24% rate first off the claim and he has this son of "Corinthian" working fast locally. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Burning) (4-1) - Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer has done well with several other horses coming from Calder and this colt is working fast at Hollywood for his first since Aug. 31. New barn wins at a 23% clip with new arrivals and he drops him into a claimer for his California debut.
3rd pick: #2 (Market Notes) (5-2) - Colt has been sharp in both outings and has shown fine early speed in each. Son of "Montbrook" runs first off a Conlon claim and he ran well on real dirt at Pleasanton on July 7th.
4th pick: #3 (Sama Blue Cat) (8-1) - Debuting colt by "Bluegrass Cat" has some fine works on his resume and is from a winning outfit (Bob Diodoro). Price play in the same race exotic bets.
