Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BOXER REBELLION) (7-2) - This filly is one of two entered by Chad Brown, and the pair race uncoupled. This $420,000 daughter of 'Empire Maker' was bet down to 2-1 when debuting at this level and distance Sept. 1 at Saratoga. She stayed close to the pace, but weakened late to finish 3rd. Brown wins at a strong 31% rate second time out as Irad Ortiz, Jr. stays aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Laughable) (4-1) - This filly set a pressured pace before tiring late to check in 4th, just under a length behind 'Boxer Rebellion' when debuting Sept. 1 at Saratoga. A $300,000 daughter of 'Distorted Humor,' she's worked twice since for Todd Pletcher, 26% second time out, and is a win candidate here.
3rd pick: #7 (Princesa Caroline) (3-1) - The second of the fillies from Chad Brown, she's a home bred daughter of Triple Crown winner 'American Pharoah.' In steady training at Belmont since Aug. 18, Brown wins at a 20% clip second time out, and his main rider, Javier Castellano, is aboard.
4th pick: #5 (Our Little Jewel) (4-1) - She rallied to finish 2nd at Saratoga Sept. 1 and was in front of both 'Boxer Rebellion' and 'Laughable' in what was her second start. Live Oak home bred has worked twice since at Fair Hill and has blinkers on for this attempt.
