Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BUTLER FIELD) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. He's stretching out in distance after checking in fifth of 10, beaten four lengths when debuting at Belmont at this level going seven furlongs July 15. Bet down to favoritism that day, he's working fast since for a 27% second-out barn.
2nd pick: #1 (Tricked Up) (3-1) - The second of the Chad Brown pair, he finished second when debuting at this level going a mile May 20 at Belmont. Colt by 'Distorted Humor' cost $500,000 and is training well above average for his second appearance. He completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #7 (Ballagh Rocks) (10-1) - Un-raced since last October, he's training steadily for Bill Mott who is adding Lasix this afternoon. Colt missed by a 'head' at this level going a mile at Belmont when last in action. Dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Abstract Cape) (15-1) - Stretch-out sprinter is racing on the grass for the first time. Training fast for his first since May 29, he's bred to handle the turf and think he's the main speed. Can factor at very long odds.
5th pick: #6 (Spuyten Duyvil) (12-1) - Team Valor runner ships from Arlington Park where he missed by less than a length when debuting there at this level and distance July 10. Longshot is from a barn (Mike Stidham) that usually wins two or three at this highly competitive meeting.
