Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (WINTER UNION) (5-1) - Home bred by 'Union Rags' rallied to break his maiden going 12 furlongs on the Saratoga turf Aug. 27. By far a career best, 4yo has been working steadily since and has room for upside. Give him a slight edge in this one.
2nd pick: #1 (Sentry) (3-1) - The field's lone two-time winner, this gelding has won two of his last four. He scored going nine furlongs facing $50K starter-allowance foes at Saratoga Aug. 2, and this strong finisher draws a ground saving post. In the mix.
3rd pick: #3 (Mathematician) (8-1) - This colt broke his maiden here at this distance July 5, but was never involved following a poor start Aug. 5 at Saratoga. He has good early speed, and that makes him a serious player in a race filled with mostly plodding types.
