Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (QUIET MEADOW) - The main speed and she draws a nice post in this one-turn mile. Talented daughter of "El Prado" finished behind probable heavy favorite "Rutherienne" last out at Saratoga and will need her very best to reverse that decision. Nice recent work pattern and this distance gives her a solid shot at the upset.

2nd pick: #7 (Rutherienne) - Likely heavy favorite finished very close-up in both the "Diana"(G1) and the "Ballston Spa"(G2) at Saratoga. Has a nice outside draw and she has the best credentials. No arguments from me if you like her on top.

3rd pick: #3 (Grand Annee) - Lightly-raced daughter of the recently deceased "Gone West" had some traffic issues in her North American debut and did well to finish fourth in a small stakes at Saratoga. Filly won three races in England facing males, never an easy thing to do.
