2nd pick: #9 (Americana) (10-1) - One of three entered by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, longhsot chased while wide and held until the final stages when finishing 5th when debuting Aug. 27th at Del Mar. Working fast for this attempt, Hollendorfer wins at a 24% rate second time out.

3rd pick: #11 (Tapped) (5-1) - Home bred by 'Tapit' is a debuting filly from the Hollendorfer barn. Working fast, trainer wins at a 22% clip first out and at a 33% rate (26 for 88) when riding 'Hall of Famer' Mike Smith.

4th pick: #6 (True Testament) (4-1) - The third filly from the Hollendorfer operation, she missed by a 1/2-length when debuting Sept. 8th at Los Alamitos. Bet down to favoritism that day, she's a factor right back.
