Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LEITRIM) (3-1) - He's stretching out a furlong in his first following a claim by Abby Adsit. Colt set a solid pace before weakening late to finish 4th going seven furlongs at this tag Aug. 5th at Saratoga. 4yo draws a fine outside post at this one-turn mile and gets a small edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Toohottoevenspeak) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he was a 1/2-length in front of "Leitrim' at Saratoga Aug. 5th. It was his first back from just under a year's layoff, and he's worked four times since. 5yo has won here in the past and stalker is an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Zartax) (7-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, he's racing first off a Linda Rice claim and a subsequent 70-day layoff. 3yo has early speed, and Rice wins at a 29% rate first off the claim and at a 26% clip off of long layoffs.
4th pick: #1 (Thomas Knight) (20-1) - Longshot ships back from Delaware Park where he broke his maiden going 8.5-furlongs Aug. 22nd. It came in his 18th start, but 4yo had eight 2nd place finishes to go along with that lone victory. May grab a minor award at a big price.
