Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BABEAU) (7-5) - He set/pressed a pressured pace before weakening late to finish third going 9 furlongs at Saratoga for a $40K price tag Aug. 9. It was his first start since Jan. 17 and trainer Todd Pletcher drops him down a bit. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2 (Other Things Equal) (2-1) - This $335,000 gelding by 'Hard Spun' finished an even and non-threatening fourth at this distance on the Monmouth Park turf Aug. 17. It was his first since debuting there a year ago and trainer Chad Brown switches him to the dirt and has him a claimer for the first time, a 24% winning angle from the barn.
3rd pick: #4 (Freedom Prince) (7-2) - He had a poor start in the same last race as 'Bebeau' and raced extremely wide once in stride. Gelding was 5.5 lengths behind that rival at the finish and needs to do better in this spot.
