Top Pick: #11 T O Elvis (7-2) - It's been a while since we saw this bullet whizzing by. T O Elvis won the Churchill Downs Stakes in May, exploding from mid-pack to blow past other top sprinters in a 3 1/4-length victory. It was a stakes-record 1:20.49...at 30-to-1 from the No. 8 position.

2nd Pick: #13 Englishman (4-5) - Englishman also has blazing speed, including some track records, coming off a win in the Allen Jerkens Memorial. In the last three races, Englishman has two wins and one second-place finish, falling short in the Pat Day Mile against Crude Velocity. Drawing the far post will be a challenge as the favorite.

3rd Pick: #7 Built (10-1) - Built has won four of six with some impressive speed numbers, but not close to the two lightning bolts matched up against him in this one.
