BELMONT PARK Race #6

Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (WESTERN CONNECTION) - He "won" here on June 27 only to be disqualified for running erratically down the stretch. Working fast since and stalker should have solid pace to close into. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Saratoga Steve) - He's finished second or third in four of six turf attempts and wasn't beaten much by the top pick when they met. Mid-pack type should have every shot down the stretch.

3rd pick: #10 (Compliance Officer) - The main speed will be cutting back 2 1/2 furlongs for this attempt. Draws a tough outside post but he should clear here and be tough to catch if left unattended.
