Top pick: #4 (EVERYTHING SWEET) - She's raced evenly in her first pair facing tougher and will have some important changes this afternoon. Trainer Rick Violette drops her way down in class, moves her back to the dirt, and will be shortening her up in distance. Daughter of "Bluegrass Cat" is working fast and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Inaflash) - Grey filly is the probable favorite after finishing a pace-setting second when debuting at Philadelphia Park on a muddy surface on Aug. 18. Working fast locally for this, trainer Chad Brown drops her down and Dominguez is aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Aqualinda) - Heavily bet when debuting at Saratoga on Aug. 20, she never recovered after being "bumped" at the break and finished last of eight. Claimed that day by Dave Jacobson for $65K, he brings her back six weeks later under the purchase price. Trainer is having a very strong meet and wins at a 27% rate first off the claim, and at a 30% clip when adding blinkers.
