Top pick: #6 (UNION RAGS) - Son of "Dixie Union" rallied to win his debut July 12 at Delaware, then went virtually wire-to-wire at Saratoga on a sloppy track August 15 to win the G2 Saratoga Special. Purchased for $390,000 in Feb, colt is working fast at trainer Mike Matz's home-base of Fair Hill in Maryland. The top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Takes the Gold) - Thought he was visually impressive when breaking his maiden at this mile trip on this surface Sep 10. In the barn of Rick Dutrow and this colt from the first crop of "Corinthian" has worked fast leading up to this. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #7 (Right to Vote) - He just missed at saratog at odds of 37-1 when debuting on August 13, then went wire-to-wire on this surface to get his maiden win on Sept. 17. Improving, working fast, and he draws a nice outside post at this mile trip.
