Top pick: #2 (FEDERATION) - English import has yet to run a bad race (6-2-1-1) since coming to North America last fall and was beaten only a half length here at this level on July 30th. Filly had some serious traffic issues late and probably should have won that afternoon. Can make it official today.
2nd pick: #1 (Counterparty) - Speed/stalker from the Pletcher barn comes back from West Virginia where she finished second in a $100K turf stakes at Mountaineer park on Aug 4th. Lightly raced, still improving and she darws the rail.
