2nd pick: #8 (Inscom) (6-1) - Well bred gelding has spent his entire career on the West Coast and makes his NYRA debut off a trainer change to Rob Atras (11-of-44 (25%) with new arrivals in 2018-19. 4yo worked sharp;y Aug. 17 at Saratoga and fits with his best.
3rd pick: #7 (Scoreswhenhewants) (5-1) - Speedy 3yo has gone 4-1-2-1 on the grass and is still improving. From a good barn, Arnaud Delacour, he has Joel Rosario signed on and this colt should be involved every step.
4th pick: #9 (Whiskey Is My Wine) (7-2) - A lightly raced 4yo, he finished a very good 4th at Saratoga facing tougher July 19. It was a career best overall and he must be left in the mix.
