Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (EXCHEQUER) (5-1) - He finished 3rd here at this tag and trip July 14 and has been freshened up by trainer Dan Gargan since that effort. Working fast at Belmont, he gets a alight edge in the finale to the meet.
2nd pick: #8 (Mine the Coin) (5-2) - He had a better trip than 'Exchequer' July 14 when he was two lengths in front of that rival. This well bred 3yo races first off a Bob Falcone, Jr. claim, a strong 26% winning angle in 2018-19.
3rd pick: #11 (Skywriting) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's taking a big drop in class while switching from turf to dirt and shortening up in distance. $425K purchase runs second off a Linda Rice claim and is racing $45,000 under the price paid last out. An obvious threat at a short price.
4th pick: #10 (Talespin) (15-1) - Longshot has blinkers added and enters off an even effort here on the grass Aug. 16. 3yo may get a share at a big price.
