3rd pick: #4 (No Salt) (7-2) - Pulled up and vanned off after hitting the gate hard at the break June 26 at Belmont, he's dropping into a claimer, and Bill Mott has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
4th pick: #1 (Allied Invasion) (9-2) - Debuting gelding is from the red hot barn of Chris Clement, 27% first out over the past 19 months. He has the rail, Rosario aboard, and is a threat if ready.
