Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CUTTING HUMOR) (7-2) - This race has a half-dozen well bred 2yos that are making their first starts. This colt sold for $400,000 as a yearling in August of last year and is in the barn of Todd Pletcher (26% first out). Working steadily at Saratoga, he had a near bullet half-mile breeze from the gate Aug. 27 and looks well prepared for this one.
2nd pick: #4 (Looking At Bikinis) (2-1) - One of a pair from trainer Chad Brown, and they race uncoupled. Son of 'Lookin At Lucky' sold for $240,000 as a 2yo in training this past April and has some fast works showing. Brown wins at a 20% rate first out, and Castellano is aboard this colt.
3rd pick: #5 (Bring the Dough) (4-1) - The is the second of the pair from Chad Brown and is a home bred son of 'Bernardini.' Colt has been in steady training at Belmont since July 31, and his last four breezes are all above average.
4th pick: #2 (Larceny) (12-1) - Colt had excuses in his first pair and has been training fast for this attempt. Longshot is one of two with racing experience and is capable of getting a share at a big price.
