Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (HAY FIELD) (6-1) - She enters off a career best here Sept. 20. Racing at this level and distance, 4-year-old rallied to miss by a 'nose.' She's worked fast twice since, draws a fine outside post, and filly gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #12 (Spender) (8-1) - California shipper makes her East Coast debut following a private sale to owner/trainer Dave Jacobson. She finished second at Los Alamitos for a $25K tag Sept. 22 and is facing fellow New York breds for the first time.
3rd pick: #10 (She'sakittykat) (2-1) - The probable favorite, she's dropping into a claimer for the first time and does so off a two month freshening. This drop has produced 12 winners in 23 starts (52%) for trainer Jay Servis.
4th pick: #4 (This Bird Can Sing) (4-1) - Speed/stalker tired here Sept. 20 and was four lengths in back of 'Hay Field'. Barn (Brad Cox) is having a strong meet and this 3-year-old can grab a share at a big price.
5th pick: #6 (Filly Madison) (10-1) - Stalker is moving from turf to dirt, drops in class, and is cutting back in distance. Capable of getting a slice at long odds.
