2020-EAST-COAST Season Horse Racing Past Picks

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (KITTEN BY THE SEA) (5-2) - Ramsey home bred was well backed debuting here facing tougher Jan 2. Filly held a good spot but did not quicken up when asked. Back in two weeks and dropping into a claimer, I give her a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Truly) (4-1) - Filly has been competitive in three straight since coming off a long layoff Oct. 18. She fits, has a good post, and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Weekend Madness) (7-2) - On the sidelines since June 16, the even-paced type is dropping into a claimer for the first time. $165K purchase fits on figures, is working steadily at Payson Park, and is from a good barn (Chris Clement). A 4yo daughter of 'Include', she's dangerous if ready.

4th pick: #6 (Rooney) (6-1) - She's finished second in two straight racing just below this tag and is capable of getting a share, but would need to step it up for a chance at winning this.
