2020-EAST-COAST Season Horse Racing Past Picks

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CAPTAIN YENNER) (3-1) - He ran well to finish third when debuting against a bit tougher Dec. 18, but then tired after chasing a quick pace and the eventual winner at this tag Jan. 31. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Isle of Man) (9-5) - This gelded son of 'Tapit' sold for $850,000 and you can claim him first out for $50K. Training steadily for the Pletcher barn, 23% with debuting runners in 2019-20, he's an obvious win candidate and may go favored.

3rd pick: #7 (Blip) (5-2) - Colt finished a distant second here at this tag going 6.5 furlongs Jan. 31. A career best to date, that effort came following a two month break and he's a stretch threat in this spot.
