Top pick: #1 (MAGNIFICENT TIGER) - Calder shipper makes his first start for trainer Angel Penna Jr. and first against fellow New York-breds. He improved noticeably in his first effort on the grass August 29. Can win this from "off the pace."
2nd pick: #11 (Dundee) - Colt by "Rachel Alexandra's" sire "Medaglia d'Oro" is in a very good barn (Steve Klesaris) with debut runners (19%) and is working well at his trainer's home-base of Fair Hill in Maryland. Delaware's leading rider Dave Cohen is in for the mount.
3rd pick: #10 (Irving Rules) - Another first-timer, this one by "Peace Rules". Home-bred is in the Pletcher barn and is working sharply for his debut.
4th pick: #6 (Quick Money) - Son of "City Zip" has shown speed in both starts, one each on turf and dirt. Heavily bet in that pair, he looks to be racing into shape.
