Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (STORMIN STEPHEN) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and the pair race uncoupled. They give him a very strong hand in this turf sprint. This colt missed by a 'neck' at this level going 5.5-furlongs on the Saratoga turf Aug 17. A career best, it was his first on the grass and he was bet down to favoritism. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Go Go Lucky) (5-2) - The second of the Clement pair, he rallied to finish third in his turf debut Aug 28 at Saratoga. Lightly-raced, improving, and he gets to go a bit longer today. Late threat.
3rd pick: #1 (My Man Al) (10-1) - 'Al' moves up in class after finishing third at Saratoga for a $50K tag Aug 26. He has early speed, draws the rail, and is trying the grass for the first time.
4th pick: #5 (Sherry's Miracle) (12-1) - One of seven making their debuts, he's by a good win early stallion 'Freud' and he had a bullet half-mile gate breeze here Sep 9. Looks well prepared by former jockey Mike Miceli.
