The last race for Barbarino was a first place finish at Belterra Park on 4/28/22. The last workout was not entered for Barbarino, but the horse definitely has some hidden talents to exploit.
Belterra Park Race 1 Pick: Barbarino 5/2
This should be a fairly even groupe of horses. However, Barbarino is one horse that does stand out. The horse has won several races this year already and should do good with the run overall and I think will pull out the win with the stronger look and better track record. One horse that could shock the crowd is Devilish Tail who has run strong and I think has some hidden speed burst that could pull out a win, but I think the closest Devilish Tail gets is a show.
