Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ARROGATE) (8-5) - This field only drew six horses, and only one has started. This colt cost $560,000 back in Sept. of 2014 and is working very fast at Santa Anita for his debut. In the Baffert barn, he looks all set first out.
2nd pick: #2 (Accelerate) (2-1) - Another making his debut, son of 'Lookin At Lucky' cost $380K at the same Keeneland sale as 'Arrogate.' Working fast, his trainer (John Sadler) wins at a 22% clip first out.
3rd pick: #1 (Westbrook) (5-1) - Not as well bred or as expensive as the top two selections, he has the rail, and some solid works at Santa Anita on view. He offers a viable alternative to those who think he can crack the exacta at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Horsty) (15-1) - The only horse that has started, he's been on the sidelines since early September. He may grab a minor award at a big price, but that's his ceiling in this well bred and small field.
