Top pick: #12 (BOX OFFICE) - One of two horses entered by trainer Rick Dutrow and the pair race as separate interests. He's in for the main track only and will be running first off a Dutrow claim (32%)and last out at Saratoga he missed by a neck running for $50K. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (In Speight Ofitall) - The second of the Dutrow pair, he ran "sneakily" well last out at Saratoga in a deep field going 7 furlongs. He wasn't prepared for the start, raced very wide once in stride, and was making up ground at the finish. Working fast and the likely winner if the top pick fails.
3rd pick: #13 (Datts Happy) - He raced very wide and evenly last out at Saratoga from a tough post going two-turns at this level Aug. 31. He has some speed and has been competitive in all three starts on this surface.
4th pick: #15 (Artist Colony) - He defeated "Box Office" by a nose at saratoga on August 6th, but raced very poorly in a follow-up start on Aug. 31. He's come back with a fine work here 6 days ago and must be left in the mix.
