Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NATURAL HISTORY) (7-2) - He rallied to finish 3rd here following a slow start for a $40K tag Aug. 21. Competitive in three straight, he drops a bit and gets a very timid vote in a contest where you should box your wagers.
2nd pick: #2 (Uncaptured Hero) (4-1) - He's lightly raced and returns from just under an eight-month layoff a NEW gelding. He has a speed/stalking style and is dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Etterbay Ucklay) (3-1) - He rallied to miss by three lengths when sprinting here on the grass July 24 in his first start in 11 months. A lightly raced 4yo, he broke his maiden here at this distance in his final start before the long layoff.
4th pick: #7 (Terrible Ted) (12-1) - This longshot has good early speed and runs today of a 6.5-month layoff and a trainer change to Jeff Mullins. Lightly raced 5yo has a fine series of works on view and may factor at a big price if ready.
