Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FIFTY FIVE) (8-5) - The filly is one of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race as separate betting interests. Strong finisher has gone 5-2-2-1 this year and is seeking to repeat in this $200K stakes. The 4yo has been pointing to this contest and she'll be tough to hold off in the final furlong.
2nd pick: #6 (La Moneda) (2-1) - Lightly-raced mare has been on the sidelines since winning Saratoga's Yaddo Stakes at this distance Aug 24. The 5yo defeated 'Fifty Five' that afternoon by a long 'neck' and home bred is a perfect 4-for-4 on the Belmont turf. Daughter of the popular 'Freud' is an obvious contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Lady Joan) (4-1) - Speedy filly set a pressured pace before weakening to finish third, 3 lengths in back of 'Fifty Five' here in a $130K stakes Sept. 23. Consistent sort has spent her entire career on the turf and has gone 16-5-5-3. The 4yo should be involved every step.
4th pick: #8 (Lovely La La) (10-1) - Longshot is the second of the pair from trainer Chad Brown. The field's lone 3yo, she's lightly-raced and speed/stalker is a perfect 2-for-2 on the grass. Speed/stalker has plenty of room for upside and is capable of factoring at a big price.
