Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (INFLEXIBILITY) (7-2) - It's a grass stakes in New York, and that means that Chad Brown is well represented. This daughter of 'Scat Daddy' is one of three from the barn, and they all race as separate betting interests. Stalker ships back from Woodbine where she finished 2nd in a rich G2 stakes, and she gets a slight edge today.

2nd pick: #2 (Hawksmoor) (5-1) - The main speed, multiple stakes winner finished 2nd here going a mile in a G3 Sept. 22. Very consistent mare likes it here (3-2-1-0) and should be in this from gate-to-wire. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (New Money Honey) (3-1) - Another from the barn of Chad Brown, she was a 'head' in front of 'Inflexibility' Sept. 15 at Woodbine. This $450,000 purchase is a perfect three for three on the Belmont turf, and speed/stalker is a serious looking player.

4th pick: #1 (Rymska) (4-1) - The third member of the Brown trained trio, strong finisher has the rail, is working steadily, and French import is racing second back from a long layoff. Filly is a stretch threat if ready with her best.
