Top pick: #1 (TO HONOR AND SERVE) - He looked "super" when breaking his maiden Oct. 2 in a race that was switched to the main-track. Well-bred (Bernadini) and expensive ($575,000), he's in the Mott barn and has been working fast for the past month. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Economic Summit) - Well-bet in his first pair, he had all sorts of trouble in his debut at Saratoga, then won last out at Belmont in a strong effort going 7 panels. Working fast since and a win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Mucho Macho Man) - Improving son of "Macho Uno" tries winners for the first time after an easy win at Monmouth on Sept. 19. Has a flexible style and the red-hot Dave Cohen rides today.
