Belterra Park Race 1 Pick: Hard Night
Quite a few of these horses have good lineage in them which will definitely make for a great race here. However, the horse that I really like just based off of the workout of 12 seconds flat per furlong in the training is Hard Night. The horse has run good at times on the year as well and the last workout is recent data as well compared to some who have not had a workout recently, but have run in races and finished towards the top like Barbarino. Still, I think the consistent speed of Hard Night is what pulls out the win here.
