Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FLINTSHIRE) (4-5) - At this moment, he's probably the best grass horse in training that few have heard of. English bred has been keeping top company all over the wold for the past four years and has banked just over $8,000,000. He's raced in England, Ireland, France, Hong Kong, and the Middle East. Six-year-old was an impressive winner of the G1 Manhattan Stakes June 11 at Belmont in his No. American debut and his presence today has kept the size of this field to four challengers. Wins again in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Twilight Eclipse) (8-1) - Veteran has slipped a bit at age seven-years-old, but was a winner last out at Belmont facing weaker July 8. He's run well here in the past and $1.9M earner is proficient at this demanding distance 9-3-3-1.
3rd pick: #5 (Grand Tito) (6-1) - The main speed, he's gone 30-7-5-5 on the grass in his long career. Capable of putting up a big figure, he finished second here last year in the G2 Bernard Baruch Stakes going shorter. In his only previous attempt at this 11 furlong trip, he won a G2 stakes in early March at Gulfstream Park.
