Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MT VEEDER) (8-5) - Colt by 'Ghostzapper' looked very sharp when winning his debut at Del Mar Aug. 15th. Bet down to 5-2 that day, he rated a bit, swept to the front when asked, then drew off to win by 2 1/2 lengths. From the Baffert barn, and he's worked fast three times since his maiden win.
2nd pick: #6 (Payne's Prairie) (3-1) - He broke slowly and was never involved in the G2 Best Pal Stakes Aug. 8th at Del Mar. It was his first on the West Coast after going 3-1-2-0 to begin his career. Working fast for this, he's a threat with an alert break.
3rd pick: #4 (Bully Pulpit) (2-1) - He's won two in a row and is moving up to try his hand in a stakes. He's still improving, has a flexible style, and this long stretch is a plus for this large gelding.
