Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BOURBON N RYE) (5-2) - The speedy gelding has been tiring facing tougher but is taking a big drop in class for this assignment. Well backed in all three starts, think he can beat these from on or just off the pace.
2nd pick: #5 (There He Goes) (3-1) - Away for just over a year, he finished a distant third at this level and distance in his return at Belmont Nov. 8. The race was taken 'off the turf' and he was favored that afternoon. Dangerous today with Irad Ortiz Jr staying aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Our American Star) (7-2) - He's rallied to finish second the last three times he's raced at this level. One-run type is making start # 26 in search of his maiden win but must be left in the mix despite that fact.
4th pick: #2 (Tammany Giant) (10-1) - Another with a lot of starts (17), stalker is making his 11th straight attempt at this level. He may grab a minor award but a win would be a bit of a surprise.
