Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GO FOR A RIDE) (3-1) - He's moving back to the turf and drops into a claimer for the first time. This $525K purchase has been an obvious disappointment for owner Gary Barber, but 3yo has good early speed and was sharp on the grass at Woodbine June 23 facing tougher. I like his chances.
2nd pick: #4 (Speakerofthehouse) (5-2) - This gelding rallied to miss by a 1/2 length going 9 furlongs at this tag Aug. 29 at Del Mar. It was his second in a claimer and stretch runner is dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Camps Bay) (6-1) - A 4yo by 'Lookin At Lucky;, he ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he raced evenly when checking in 5th of 7, beaten 4 lengths Sep 13. It was his 2nd back following a thirteen month layoff and he's capable of getting a share at a square price.
4th pick: #10 (Fay Dan) (7-2) - A $400,000 gelded son of 'Curlin', he's making only his 3rd start and first in a claimer and first on the grass. From the Baffert barn, he exits a fourth place finish on the Los Al dirt facing a tougher group Sept. 14 and should show whatever he has this afternoon.
