Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (WATCH THE TIE) (6-5) - The probable favorite, gelding has finished 2nd in four of his five starts, including a pair here at Belmont. Stalker is in shape, meets a weak looking small field, and races with blinkers on. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Arctic King) (9-2) - Unraced in 11 months, he returns as a NEW gelding. Grey 3yo finished 3rd in both starts at this level after coming here from Arlington Park late in the summer of 2014. Working well, has the rail, and he's a threat if ready.
3rd pick: #6 (Bustin the Bank) (5-1) - Gelding finished 2nd here at this level going six furlongs Sept. 20th. However, in his follow up start he was never involved after 'brushing the gate' at the break and was 14 lengths behind 'Watch the Tie' at the finish. Needs to move forward quite a bit.
