Top pick: #4 (HORSESHOE LAKE) - Marylou Whitney home-bred is also entered tomorrow at Saratoga so at press time it was not yet decided where he would run. Grey gelding by "Birdstone" did not finish last out in a grass race at Belmont when he had all sorts of issues and may have had an equipment miscue. Has dirt form that beats these if repeatable and is the choice if he runs here.
2nd pick: #2 (Brooklyn Proud) - Lightly raced home-bred by "Lawyer Ron" will be making his first local appearance and will do so off a private trainer change to Alan Bedard. New man stretches him out around two-turns and this 3-year-old comes off his best yet on July 15th.
