Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MINSKY MOMENT) (2-1) - Note: This race has been switched to the main track. Colt finished 2nd at this level and distance May 6 in a contest that was taken 'off the turf.' $290,000 son of 'Flatter' is working above average on the Saratoga training track and gets top billing.

2nd pick: #10 (Follow the Ships) (7-2) - Also from the Chad Brown barn, speedy colt has been on the sidelines since late August at Saratoga. Competitive in all three starts, he's working steadily, and is a threat if ready.

3rd pick: #12 (Zonic) (4-1) - I don't believe he was comfortable last out when finishing a distant 3rd May 6. Soundly beaten by 'Minsky Moment' that afternoon, he had the rail on a muddy surface, and can do much better with the move off the inside.

4th pick: #14 (The Pooch) (6-1) - He was bet down to 2-1 favoritism when debuting here for a $40K tag in a grass sprint June 1. Gelding by 'City Zip' missed by less than a length and was claimed that day by veteran Mitch Froedman. He brings him back quickly, moves him up in class, and stretches him out in distance.
