Top pick: #2 (OUR ENTOURAGE) - In this small stakes it's a bit interesting that this field has a combined 54 starts between them and only one horse has raced on this deep and tricky surface in the past (#6 Big Creek) and he's not a serious contender. This colt ships back from Parx racing(Philadelphia Park) where he was an easy winner there facing weaker two weeks ago. Effort was his first off a Dave Jacobson claim and a subsequent 7 week feshening. Trainer is having an outstanding meet and this colt is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Called to Serve) - Since relocating from California during the summer, he's finished 3rd in the rich West Virginia Derby(G2) on Aug 4th, and last out missed by less than a length in the $400K Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park. New trainer (Nick Canani 29% with new arrivals) scratched him out of a stakes yesterday at Delaware Park to await this spot.
