Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CEASE) (6-5) - Veteran runs first off a Dave Jacobson claim (a 26% winning angle). This is the third time he's been in that barn and he's had a lot of success with him in the past. Old timer meets a very weak field and is much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Grandpa Len) (4-1) - Grey gelding runs first off a Bruce Levine claim (22%) and he has excellent early speed. He tired last out at Saratoga going 9-furlongs at this tag Aug 5. Six-year-old had to rush up that day following a poor start and will be shortening up to a distance he's gone 4-0-2-2 at in the past.
3rd pick: #4 (Tug of War) (6-1) - New York bred raced both wide and evenly Aug 19 at Saratoga going 7-furlongs for a $25K tag facing fellow state breds. In form and he's run well at this distance in the past without winning.
4th pick: #3 (Groomedforvictory) (7-2) - A 15-time winner overall with 13 of those victories coming at this distance. 10-year-old ran second last out at Monmouth in his best overall since last November. Must be left in the mix.
