2020-EAST-COAST Season Horse Racing Past Picks

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (TOO SEXY) (3-1) - This $270,000 daughter of 'Quality Road' ships from Gulfstream where she was sharp in both attempts. She finished 3rd of 12, beaten by almost three lengths when debuting at a mile Feb. 23, then missed by a 1/2-length at the same distance April 2. I give her a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Cost Benefit) (7-2) - One of a pair from Chad Brown, and they race uncoupled. Bred for grass success, she's worked a half-dozen times since April 29 for her debut. Brown wins at a 21% rate first out and at a 23% clip with first-timers going a mile or longer.

3rd pick: #2 (Dovima) (5-1) - The second of the Brown-trained fillies, this daughter of 'Union Rags' sold for $440,000 as a 2yo in training in April of last year. She has a fine series of works on the deep surface at Payson Park and looks well prepared for her first attempt.

4th pick: #7 (My Sweet Wife) (12-1) - This longshot raced evenly when debuting at this level and distance May 14 at Gulfstream. She's breezed three times since and may get a share at a big price with normal improvement second time out.
