2nd pick: #12 (Bar Harbor) (7-2) - A home-bred son of Kentucky Derby winner 'Orb', he rallied strongly to finish second of 11, beaten a length when debuting at this level and distance Feb. 10 at Gulfstream Park. Colt was working steadily at the Payson Park Center before shipping here and is dangerous despite his poor outside post.
3rd pick: #1 (Hurricane Jake) (8-1) - This Fair Grounds shipper is stretching out in distance following a pair of close up finishes is turf sprints to begin his career. He has the rail and should be involved every step at a square price.
