Traditional Rankings & Detailed Selections

  1. #11 Talkin – Top Elite Dominance Score, ran a huge late pace figure chasing a freakish Champagne winner while 7-wide. Trainer Danny Gargan is 3-for-3 at meet. Carmouche sticks.
  2. #2 Paladin – Chad Brown + Flavien Prat + Gun Runner debut winner off a 50-day freshening = lethal combo. 91-speed debut is tied highest last-race figure and he’s bred to love two turns.
  3. #10 Balboa – Best raw Elite Dominance Score, ships in from Baffert barn, but Brittany Russell is ice-cold in graded stakes (8%). Still dangerous underneath.
  4. #12 Probably Dreaming – Proven two-turn stalker with three wins already, but capped out at 79-speed topping the Nashua. Vulnerable.
