Top pick: #3 (BACKDOWN) - He finished second early in the Saratoga meet to a very impressive wire to wire winner from the Pletcher barn who ran the six furlongs in 1:09 flat. Race was this geldings first since Feb 12th and he's training fast for this. The 3-year-old has previous experience on this often "tricky" surface and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Star Harbour) - Florida bred by Indian Ocean has finished second in both appearances, last fall at Aqueduct and this Jan at Gulfstream Park. Training fast for "Hall of Famer" Bill Mott and this colt showed some versatility in his first pair, running well from both near the lead and far back.
