Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (TEACHABLE MOMENT) (2-1) - Freshened up for just over two months, this $180K 3yo gelding by 'More Than Ready' is dropping down while switching from turf to dirt. He has positive 'off' track experience, has Javier Castellano aboard, and I give this stalker a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Speed Effect) (4-1) - This grey gelding has good early speed and breaks from the rail in this 'off the turf contest. Lightly raced 3yo is stretching out in distance after finishing a close up 3rd sprinting at this tag on a sloppy surface Nov 22 at Churchill Downs. He should be involved every step with Irad Ortiz Jr aboard.
3rd pick: #4 (Bebeau) (7-2) - He's moving back to the main track and has been competitive in three of four racing on the dirt. Speed/stalker runs off a private trainer change to Kelly Breen, a 22% winning angle and he has Luis Saez aboard.
