Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (PARSIMONY) (9-2) - He ships back from the midwest where he was over-matched in a pair of G2 stakes attempts on the dirt. Before heading east he finished 2nd here at this level and distance on the grass and I give this $400K purchase a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Farquar) (5-1) - A $200K son of 'Tale of the Cat', he been competitive in all three local attempts since coming from Florida in the Fall. He has some positional speed and should like this 9 furlong trip.
3rd pick: #6 (Grand Meister) (5-1) - Colt set the pace and held to finish second going a mile here at odds of 43-1 May 3. By far a career best, it was his first since Sept. 1 and first ever on the grass. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Hackberry) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied to miss by a 1/2 length here at this level going a mile April 26. Effort earned him the highest last out figure in this field and he's an obvious win candidate, but at a short price.
