Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1a (DAY OF FURY) (3-1) - He's part of a Dave Jacobson owned and trained entry with #1 'Slim Shadey.' Speedy 4-year-old was a sharp winner here in an entry-level allowance Sept 16 and earned a very lofty figure. Nicely spotted today and a repeat of his latest effort can make him a back-to-back winner.
2nd pick: #7 (Financial Modeling) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he's lightly raced and enters off a good looking win at Saratoga going 1 1/8th miles Aug 20. Well bred, he still has room for up-side and draws a nice post at this one-turn mile.
3rd pick: #5 (Crafty Dreamer) (12-1) - Veteran is best going a bit shorter, but may pass enough during the stretch run to grab a small award at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Readbytheline) (6-1) - He's racing first off a Danny Gargan claim and this veteran speed/stalker is moving up a bit in class. A seven-time winner overall, he's gone 8-2-2-0 at this trip in the past and is working sharply for his first since Aug 20.
