Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MEMORIES OF PETER) (5-2) - The probable favorite, grey colt missed by a 'neck' Aug 29 at Saratoga racing at this level going 8.5-furlongs. A career best, he defeated several of today's rivals that afternoon and has worked three times since. Three-year-old should have no issues with this longer distance and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Born in Brooklyn) (3-1) - 'Long winded' type set the pace and held gamely to miss by a 'head' Aug 29 at Saratoga. By far a career best, it came going longer and against 'open' company. Has the rail and he should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #2 (Ode to the Hunt) (6-1) - Home bred raced both wide and evenly in the same last race as 'Memories of Peter.' He was racing for the first time since late January at Gulfstream and should move forward enough to factor at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Harbor King) (10-1) - Grey gelding split 'Memories of Peter' and 'Ode to the Hunt' last out. He has a bit of speed, but with 20-starts on his resume he has no room for upside. A small award is his ceiling.
