Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HIGHEST HONORS) (8-5) - A home bred son of 'Tapit', he missed by a 'neck' when debuting in a 6.5 sprint April 20 racing on a muddy surface. Trainer Chad Brown (31% second time out) stretches him out in distance (33%) and he breezed him three times here during May.
2nd pick: #1 (Skywriting) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Jimmy Jerkens and the pair race uncoupled. A speedy son of 'Super Saver', he tired late to finish fourth here at this level going a mile May 11. $425,000 purchase set a quick and pressured pace that afternoon and runs today with blinkers on. 3yo has the rail and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #3 (Tony Small) (9-2) - Competitive in both starts, he finished second when debuting at the Fair Grounds at this distance March 23, then ran fourth going 9 furlongs in the race after the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs May 4. Heavily bet in each, he must be left in the mix.
