Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (STICKY CANDY) - Re-claimed by trainer John Sadler and he paid-up $18,000 over what he lost him for, so he must like him. He's raced well in all three claiming races and runs today off a 4 1/2 month layoff with some solid works. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #8 (Speedy Marini) - Gelding raced evenly without threatening in his debut on March 18th facing tougher. Drops into a claimer, gets the addition of blinkers, and is working nicely. Mike Smith keeps the faith and he can contend this afternoon.

3rd pick: #1 (Johnnie Gold) - Son of "Formal Gold" is a "Triple Crown" nominee and brings some fine works in tow as he makes his debut. Barn (A.C.Avila) is an under-rated one and this colt looks well-prepared.
