Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (MISREMEMBERED) - Obviuosly named after the famous Roger Clemens' faux pas a couple of years ago when he was testifying before the senate. That said, this runners record "speaks for itself." Very competitive (9-4-3-0), lightly raced, has a versatile style, and is working very fast for this. The top pick he's one of two entered by trainer Bob Baffert and they'll race as separate interests.

2nd pick: #8 (Smart Bid) - Races third off a layoff and he finished a sharp pace-setting/pressing second last out in the Grade Two "San Fernando". Looks set for his best.

3rd pick: #2 (Rendevous) - Runs second off a layoff and veteran stakes performer has a very fast work heading into this. Capable at this level especially if the pace is a bit quicker than I anticipate.
