Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CALIFORNIA CHROME) (6-5) - Not much to add that most don't already know. He's banked nearly $13,000,000 in his 13 lifetime wins, and enters of a hard fought win here in the San Diego Handicap (G2) July 23. It was his first race in four months and he should be even sharper today.
2nd pick: #7 (Beholder) (5-2) - 'Super' mare has won 17 of 23 overall and has earned almost $5M. Six-year-old was an easy winer of this race a year ago, but didn't face 'Chrome' that day. Still, she's a three-time champ and is a threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Dortmund) (7-2) - He's not as talented as the top two selections, but gave 'Chrome' a good battle last out. Capable of being in this from gate to wire and he can't be eliminated.
4th pick: #4 (Hard Aces) (15-1) - Veteran enters in the best form of his career. Six-year-old can 'run all day' and won a 12-furlong stakes here July 24. May grab a share at a big price.
