2nd pick: #4 (Makesnosense) (4-1) - Speedy sort continues to show early foot and back up during the stretch run. Gelding has a new trainer today (Scott Lake)and think this 3yo will be involved to the finish for the new barn.
3rd pick: #1 (Scowl) (6-1) - Good barn (Cathal Lynch) drops this colt to a nerw low in price and will be cutting him back in distance for this attempt.
