Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT) (3-1) - Well backed when debuting here July 16, he tired while racing wide. He's going a 1/16th farther, has blinkers added, and Bejarano is getting aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Highly Acclaimed) (5-2) - He's from the same owners (Harris Farms) as 'Close to Midnight.' Debuting son of the very speedy 'Acclamation' is working fast here and looks set for a big debut. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Boo Boo Bear) (12-1) - Another making his debut, colt by 'Musket Man' is working above average and low profile human connections guarantee a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Closing Time) (8-1) - He has the rail and is working frequently here for his debut. In a capable barn (Jeff Mullins) and a threat if ready.
