Top pick: #5 (ARTEST) - Colt from the first crop of the hard-hitting "Hard Spun" was an easy winner when debuting going 5 furlongs at Belmont back on June 10th. This is his "home" track as trainer Rick Dutrow is one of few New York trainers who does not stable at Belmont. Working fast for his return and this 2-year-oold may have some talent.
2nd pick: #2 (Spring to the Sky) - Son of "Langfuhr" broke running on a muddy track at Belmont when debuting on Sept. 24 and proceeded to go wire-to-wire to win by 10 lengths. He was visually impressive that day and is a big danger.
