Premium Pick

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SYMPATHY) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown, and they race uncoupled. Lightly raced 4yo began her career in England and has gone 4-1-2-1 since coming to N. America. Stalker won last out at Belmont and appears to have a bright future. Can take this with a trouble free trip in this large field.

2nd pick: #3 (Now Power) (8-1) - Speedy daughter of 'Tiznow' breaks just off the rail and enters in career best form. She's gone 4-2-1-1 since switching to the turf, and 4yo worked a sharp half-mile here July 18. She should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #10 (Kitten's Roar) (5-1) - Lightly raced and consistent, filly by 'Kitten's Joy' has been competitive in every start. All have been on the grass, and her record stands at 6-2-2-2. Stalker is a strong factor if able to avoid a wide run into the first turn which comes up quickly here at this mile distance.

4th pick: #9 (Klitzys Rocket) (6-1) - One run type has spent her entire career on the grass. She's 12-2-3-2 and is one of two entered who has won on the Saratoga grass in the past. Fact is, she's a perfect two for two here and has Juan Ortiz back on for the re-ride.

5th pick: #8 (Sokie) (12-1) - Speedy filly tired last out at Belmont after rating tactics were applied. Think she's going to be sent hard at the break today and can factor at a big price.
