Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (JOHNNY RAY) (3-1) - Home bred is training fast for his first starts since a good effort when debuting against tougher in a grass sprint at Saratoga back on July 27. NEW gelding will beat these if he runs to his a.m. drills.
2nd pick: #2 (Send a Buck) (4-1) - One of a pair from trainer Mike Harrington, he's cutting back in distance after finishing third at this tag going a mile at Del Mar Aug. 9. Dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Southern Warlord) (7-2) - Colt set the pace and held to finish second at this tag going five furlongs at Del Mar. A big step forward off his debut and a threat if it's repeatable.
4th pick: #9 (Cause for Pardon) (8-1) - Longshot is the second from the Harrington barn. He's dropping in class and races as a NEW gelding. Price play.
