Top pick: #5 (STONEY FLEECE) - He's a perfect two-for-two on the turf, including a sharp allowance win here at this mile trip Oct. 15. Not only is he the only horse to win here on this course, but he's the only one ever to set foot on it. He had no chance here in a dirt stakes just five days ago when he was elminated at the start. The Sadler barn brings him back very quickly and this colt is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Chips Are In) - He's a "head" shy of being a perfect 4-for-4 and in that lone defeat he ran a career best at Golde gate Fields in a $62K stakes. He won a $100K stakes at Arapahoe Park on August 21st and will be moving to the turf for the first time. Improving, bred to handle the surface, and he has big early speed.
3rd pick: #8 (Daddy Nose Best) - Churchill invader is the field's most experience turf runner (5-2-1-1) and is also the strongest finisher entered. Improving, and jockey Jason Leparoux is in for the ride. Win candidate.
