BELMONT PARK Race #7 (THE MAN O' WAR STAKES(G1))

Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (QUIJANO) - He's 14 for 27 and has kept nothing but the best company his entire career. Well travelled veteran shipped to North America last year and was beaten a "nose" in the G1 "Northern Dancer" at Woodbine. The horse to beat from just off the lead.

2nd pick: #1 (Musketier) - Has the hedge and good tactical speed. In a curious oddity, both he and the top pick are by the same German-based sire: "Acatenango". He exits a very good-looking win in the G3 "Singspiel" stakes at Woodbine on June 21, his first win since coming back from a very long layoff (16 months). Contender.

3rd pick: #4 (Marsh Side) - He ran a big race in the "Manhattan" (G1) last out, staying up and on the pace from his inside post, bidding to clear late, then being out-finished on the wire. Win threat today.
