Top pick: #5 (BULLDOGGER) - Every season at Saratoga, trainer Bob Baffert sends some horses here from California and they are all runners. This colt by "Dixie Union" trained fast at both Santa Anita and Del Mar and it's of note that Johnny Velasquez is on him and not the Pletcher runner. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (West Hampton) - Son of "Mr. Greeley" has some eye-popping works on his resume and his trainer D. Wayne Lukas knows a thing or two about winning races. Contender.
3rd pick: #2 (Liston) - Beautifully-bred runner ("Storm Cat") is working sharply at the local Greentree Training Center owned by the Darley Stable who also own this colt. Barn (Kiaran McLaughlin) is solid first-time-out (19%).
