Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BANK WALKER) (4-1) - NEW gelding races first off a claim by the leading trainer at this meet (Peter Miller). That's a solid 21% winning angle and this 3yo showed both talent and promise here a year ago before going in for an 11-month layoff. Stalker has the rail, stretches out in distance, and runs second back off the long absence.
2nd pick: #6 (Street to Indy) (7-2) - Consistent maiden has been competitive in three straight since dropping down to this $40,000 claiming price. Stalker missed by a 1/2 length here at this distance July 25 and is an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Mr Classical) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, 4yo ships from Kentucky where he tired after setting the pace in a grass contest at Ellis Park July 14. Gelding by 'Bernardini' has a new trainer (Doug O'Neill) and he drops him into a claimer while switching him back to the dirt. Fits and can factor with his normal effort.
