Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (CONVERGE) (3-1) - Debuting colt cost $240K a year ago as a Keeneland yearling. Working steadily and way above average, he's in the barn of Chad Brown (28% when debuting runners at a mile or over). Looks well prepared and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Brooklyn Speights) (5-1) - He raced evenly after being 'bumped' hard at the start when debuting in a 'Spa' grass sprint Aug 2. Working nicely since, he draws the rail while stretching out in distance. Can be in this from start-to-finish at a square price.
3rd pick: #9 (Stubbs) (8-1) - Gelding dueled and weakened when debuting in a Saratoga grass sprint Aug 28. He was bet that day and was sent hard at the break. Trainer Graham Motion adds blinkers while stretching him out to a mile. Price play.
4th pick: #10 (Yummy Bear) (6-1) - Very rank in his debut, colt ran evenly while finishing 4th of 10, when debuting in a grass sprint at Saratoga Aug 17. Good second-out barn (Linda Rice 22%) stretches him out.
5th pick: #6 (Majority) (10-1) - Well backed in his debut at Saratoga, he raced evenly after some early traffic issues. Look for an improved effort at a big price.
