Top pick: #7 (BELFAST LAD) - Gelded son of "Kelly Kip" tooks some money in his debut abd and finished 3rd to a much the best top pair in a large field (11). Had the rail that day, moves out in the gate, and drops into a claimer. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Timber Cat) - Drops, goes turf to dirt, and gets blinkers on. Gelding by "Prime Timber" finished 4th in a tough field at Belmont in his debut on the dirt. Can compete for the win.
3rd pick: #11 (Irving Rules) - Colt by "Peace Rules" didn't run a lick in his well-bet debut on the Belmont turf on Oct.15th. Drops into a claimer(18%) and trainer Todd Pletcher switches him to the dirt(18%), and adds blinkers (22%). He'll run better this afternoon.
