Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HASTA LA BYEBYE) (2-1) - A NEW gelding, the operation was done just eight days ago. Well bred 4yo finished 4th here at this distance facing tougher Feb. 7. It was his first start since June 28 and he breaks from the rail in this spot. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Flashgun) (5-2) - $125,000 colt runs today off a private trainer switch to Todd Pletcher (23% with new arrivals). He was pulled up here going a mile on the grass Feb. 10 in his first start in eight months. Competitive at Belmont last spring in a pair of dirt sprints, Pletcher drops him into a claimer for the first time (a strong 45% winning move by the barn).
3rd pick: #4 (Caligari) (7-2) - Colt rallied to finish second of nine, beaten a length here near this tag Feb. 10. By far a career best, he's in what looks like a three horse mix.
