Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (WICKED GRIN) (5-2) - Home bred by the speedy 'Jimmy Creed' missed by a 'neck' when debuting on the Saratoga turf at this level going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 24. Involved every step, he's worked fast since, has the rail, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Wisecrack) (9-2) - Price play tired late after setting a quick pace when debuting in a sprint on the Saratoga grass Aug. 10. Well backed that day, NEW gelding worked fast Sept. 8, has Jose Ortiz aboard, and this $125,000 purchase is a serous looking runner at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Magical Tale) (15-1) - Longshot raced very wide and was bumped several times when finishing 7.5 lengths behind 'Wicked Grin' Aug. 24 at Saratoga. Colt worked fast here Sept. 8 and is capable of getting a share today with a better trip.
4th pick: #7 (Kosciuszko) (10-1) - Another longshot, home bred tired after chasing the pace when debuting in a dirt sprint at Saratoga Aug. 17. Colt has worked fast twice sine, is bred for grass success, and may impact at a big price.
