Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (TIME TEST) (5-2) - English bred kept top company in his native country and was a Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed. He's finished second in a pair of stakes at Belmont since coming to No. America and has been training fast here for Chad Brown. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Disco Partner) (2-1) - New York bred has really stepped it up over the past year. Formerly a grass sprinter, he was an easy winner at this mile distance July 15 at Belmont in a $150K stakes. Stalker is an obvious win candidate with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #7 (World Approval) (9-2) - He's a multiple stakes winner and has won 8-of-19 starts on the grass and has banked well over a million dollars on it. More accustomed to longer distances, speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Ballagh Rocks) (8-1) - Colt has improved dramatically starting last fall and enters of a a G3 win at this distance in Belmont's Poker Stakes June 18. Strong finisher has a ground saving post and is a late threat.
