Top pick: #3 (SEEKER) - He's one of two entered by trainer Steve Asmussen and they'll race as separate interests. Colt from the first crop of "Hard Spun" was a visually impressive wire to wire winner on a sloppy track at Saratoga Sep 5th when making his 2nd start. He had showed promise in his debut and is the choice to win a G2 stakes in his first facing winners.
2nd pick: #2 (She Digs Me) - The 2nd of the Asmussen pair is the field's only stakes winner and he's done so twice. Colt from first crop sire "Henny Hughes" comes here from Monmouth where he won the $70K Tyro on July 24th, then was an easy winner of the Sapling S.(G3) on Sep 3rd. Stalker's latest was his best yet and he completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #4 (Jagati) - He was very impressive when going wire to wire on a muddy track at Saratoga August 8th to break his maiden, then rallied to finish 2nd to She Digs Me in the Sapling, a race where he was "bumped" heavily at the start. Working fast and in the small win mix.
