2020-EAST-COAST Season Horse Racing Past Picks

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (JERSEY JOE B) (2-1) - He drops in class after a pace-setting 3rd place finish here in a minor $50K stakes Feb. 17. Very much improved since he was claimed for $6,250 by John McAllen Dec. 26. And if he holds his current form, he'll be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #1 (Killa Dee) (5-1) - This lightly raced colt moves up in class after an easy win here at this distance Feb. 28 for an $8,000 tag. It was his first off a re-claim by Rohan Crichton Jan. 29, and he paid up $1,750 to get him back after losing him for one race. I think he's a major threat at a square price.

3rd pick: #7 (Karen's Cove) (8-1) - No speed type moves up in class after rallying to miss by 12 lengths here for an $8,000 price tag March 1. This well bred 5yo will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
