Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (OLD HARBOR) (4-1) - Filly is consistent and has a fine record on the Belmont turf (7-3-1-2). Stakes winner is back in top form following her return from a seven-month layoff in July, and she draws a great ground saving post. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (The Tea Cups) (5-2) - Strong finisher has improved noticeably since coming to the barn of Jeremiah Englehart 13 months ago. She rallied to win the $150K Yaddo Stakes at Saratoga Aug. 28th and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Selenite) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Dave Donk, and the pair race uncoupled. Stalker was only 1 1/2 lengths behind "The Tea Cups' last out at Saratoga, and she lost some position after 'stumbling' at the break. A win candidate today.
4th pick: #6 (Freudie Anne) (8-1) - The field's lone 3yo, she has sharp early speed, and is two-for-two on this course. However, she needs to step it up today to threaten some talented older runners.
