2020-EAST-COAST Season Horse Racing Past Picks

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FRENCH QUARTER) (2-1) - This veteran moves up in class after a win here at this distance for an $8,000 tag Feb. 7. It was his fourth victory in his last six starts, and the 9yo runs today fresh off a Saffie Joseph, Jr. claim, a very strong 42% angle. Old-timer has the rail, a flexible style, and a bullet five-furlong work March 2.

2nd pick: #7 (Just Kidding) (9-2) - Hard hitter stretches back out after missing by a 1/2-length at this level in a six-furlong sprint Feb. 2. He runs first off a Sandy Mattier claim, and she has him running his favorite distance (30-6-6-5). Speed/stalker is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Lil Commissioner) (4-1) - Speedy sort tired to finish 4th here at this level and distance Jan. 23. He had won two of three prior to that, has some back class, and is from a winning barn (Jorge Navarro). He's in the mix with his 'A' game.
