Top pick: #5 (COSMIC GOLD) (7-2) - Colt by "Mineshaft" rallied to finish third when debuting at Philadelphia Park at this level and distance on June 17th. $120K yearling purchase has worked three times since and a very good barn (Mike Trombetta) has J.J. Castellano signed on for this attempt.
2nd pick: #3 (Contrary Opinion) (3-1) - One of three well-bred colts making their debuts, this $250K yearling by "Street Cry" is training on the fast side and ships from Delaware Park off a bullet half-mile gate breeze on July 12th. Barn (Graham Motion) is having a great year and won a race here yesterday. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Waco ) (10-1) - Price play is going turf to dirt and is racing second back off almost a six month break. Working well locally and believe he can factor at long odds.
4th pick: #6 (Bird Now) (8-1) - Whitney home bred is racing second back off a long layoff and he raced evenly in his return start at Churchill Downs on June 20th. Son of "Tiznow' showed early speed in two starts here at the 2013 meet and is headed in the right direction.
