Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (THEBIGFUNDAMENTAL) (2-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old set the pace before tiring late to finish third here at this level and distance July 23. Gelding by 'Uncle Mo' cost $550,000 and is in the barn of Todd Pletcher. Lightly-raced runner is without blinkers today with John Velazquez back on the re-ride.
2nd pick: #4 (Securitz) (5-2) - Steady performer rallied past 'Thebigfundamental' last out to secure the place spot while just over a length in front of that rival. He's racing third back from a nine month layoff and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Raagheb) (4-1) - Kentucky invader moves up in class following a win at Churchill Downs going 8 1/2 furlongs for a $40,000 claiming price June 16. Stretch runner was stakes placed at the Fair Grounds last December and should be making up ground late.
