Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DREAM TEAM) (7-5) - Colt cost a cool $1,000,000 dollars as a Keeneland yearling back in Sep of 2013. Son of 'Tapit' chased and weakened to finish third when debuting at this level Aug 22 at Del Mar. Working fast since, trainer Bob Baffert (24% second-time out) has Bejarano aboard for this 3-year-olds second appearance.
2nd pick: #2 (Homer Matt) (8-5) - He's finished second and third in both starts on conventional dirt. Colt cost $625K and just missed at this level and distance Aug 9 at Del mar. Speed/stalker has been working fast since and I almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #3 (Blue Anchor) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, he's moving up in class after finishing second for a $40K claiming price Aug 30 at Del mar. It was his first start in 5 1/2 months and he looks next best in this small field.
