Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FLINTSHIRE) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, world traveler has gone 20-7-9-1 on the turf and his overall earnings stand at $8,275,000. He's won in France, England, Hong Kong, The UAE, and is 4-3-1-0 in North America. English import is two for two since coming back to the U.S. during the late spring and he won the G2 Bowling Green Stakes here going 11 furlongs July 30. He loves this 12 furlong trip and should win again.

2nd pick: #2 (Money Multiplier) (5-1) - He's from the same barn (Chad Brown) as 'Flintshire' and enters off of three straight triple digit Byer numbers. Stalker defeated weaker here going 11 furlongs Aug 5 and should factor in this spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Grand Tito) (6) - The main speed and veteran has the inside post. Very consistent 6-year-old held gamely to miss by just under a length to 'Flintshire' here July 30. The distance isn't an issue and he should be involved from gate to wire.

4th pick: #4 (Twilight Eclipse) (8-1) - The senior member of the group, seven-year-old has earned just under $2,000,000 in his 35 start career. He's in shape and has competed at this 12 furlong distance many times in the past. He ran third to 'Flintshire' in this stakes a year ago and is capable of getting a slice at a square price.
