Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NEWS ANCHOR) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he missed by a 'neck' when debuting at this level Aug. 24 at Saratoga. $100K purchase has worked twice here since and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #11 (Sandlot Star) (4-1) - $210,000 purchase raced well while a bit greenly when debuting in a grass sprint at Saratoga Aug. 25. Well backed that day, he was only beaten just under a length. Blinkers go on, and colt is stretching out in distance. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Throw the Deuce) (5-1) - Gelding was a 'neck' in front of 'Sandlot Star' when debuting at Saratoga in a fine first attempt. He's stretching out in distance, and Javier Castellano is taking over the riding chores.
4th pick: #1 (English Channical) (20-1) - Longshot has had tough outside posts and wide trips in his last pair. He's moving to the rail and may grab a share at a big price.
