Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (PIRELLONE) (6-5) - The probable favorite, colt from the first crop of 'Gio Ponti' just missed (a 'neck') when debuting at Saratoga going 7-furlongs Sept 5. He lost narrowly to 'Greenpointcrusader' who returned to take the $500K G1 Champagne Stakes here last Saturday. Working fast and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Patrick's Day) (4-1) - From the Pletcher barn, he raced both wide and evenly when debuting in a 6-furlong sprint Aug 22 at Saratoga. He's worked four times since and is stretching out to a mile.
3rd pick: #3 (Seat of Honor) (9-2) - Grey son of 'Tapit' finished a wide and even fourth here going six-furlongs Sept 19. A useful debut, trainer 'Shug' Mcgaughey wins at a 26% rate second time out and is adding Lasix. Bred to enjoy this longer distance and must be left in the mix.
