Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BELTANY) (3-1) - Colt cost $320,000 and is dropping into a low level claimer for the first time. Son of 'Elusive Quality' has been showing good early speed facing tougher and should be able to go wire to-wire against this group.
2nd pick: #1 (Nicholas and Me) (7-2) - NEW gelding is racing first off a Jeremiah Englehart claim (a 20% wining angle). Three-year-old by 'Union Rags' has tired in his first pair and don't believe he liked the sloppy surface at Saratoga July 24. He has the rail and it's noted that Jose Ortiz is aboard. Factors today.
3rd pick: #4 (Competitiveness) (10-1) - Another NEW gelding, he tired after dueling for the lead when debuting April 5 at Aqueduct. Claimed that day by Gary Gullo (29% off the claim) for $40,000, this 3-year-old was originally in the barn of Chad Brown. New trainer drops his price in half and he can impact at a big price if ready.
