Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HELICOPTER) (4-1) - He's won 27 times overall, with 20 of those coming on synthetic surfaces. Old timer has gone 16-7-3-2 here at Presque Isle and is having another great year 8-4-3-1 as he nears his 10th birthday. The distance is never a problem and he gets the call in the season finale.
2nd pick: #11 (Kellster) (7-2) - She received a perfect trip and held to defeat 'Helicopter' here going 2 1/8th miles Sept 7. Mare ran a career best that day and is a threat if it's repeatable.
3rd pick: #9 (Aridus) (6-1) - Speed/stalker doesn't win very often, but is local record is still very good 15-2-9-2 despite that fact. He's finished second to 'Helicopter three times at the meet and should be a square price.
4th pick: #6 (El Season) (8-1) - He's stretching out in distance after a near miss here going a mile for a $16K tag Aug 30. The distance shouldn't be an issue and he's set up well by Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard.
