Top pick: #10 (D'TIGER) - Claimed at Saratoga by Dave Jacobson on Aug. 23 for $25K, he doubles him up in price, switches him from turf to dirt, and stretches him out in distance. 5-year-old has run well at this level and distance in the past, draws a nice outside post, and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Saturday's Charm) - Son of "Any Given Saturday" cost $240,00 and has proven a big disappointment up to this point. Last out he chased and tired at Monmouth going a mile facing special weights in his first race in almost 8 months. Drops into a claimer, shortens-up in distance, and is working fast for trainer Steve Asmussen. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Induce) - Racing off a half-year's layoff at Saratoga on Aug. 11, gelding was bumped at the start, raced wide, and held gamely to finish second. Trainer Rick Dutrow has worked him four times since, and Dominguez stays put as runner, and moves up in price.
