2nd pick: #5 (Special Intention) (6-1) - Son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' cost $500,000 as a yearling back in the fall of 2015. He showed almost nothing when debuting at this level on the Belmont grass July 8, but his series of works since then are impressive. It's noted that the small barn of Mark Reid has Javier Castellano on board.

4th pick: #1a (Old Dubai) (4-1) - Grey son of 'Tapit' tired after rushing up following a troubled break July 4 at Belmont. Only his second start, it's noted that he's been bet in both and runs today with blinkers on (a 28% winning angle) Kiaran Mclaughlin),
