Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (MATTHEWSBURG) - Kentucky invader ships in from Churchill wher he rallied to finish fifth of 10 on a "muddy" track in the $88K Jimmy V. stakes on the under-card of the Breeders Cup (day 1). Has by far the best form of these a nd this son of "Ghostzapper" has a fine record at this distance (6-2-1-0). The choice for the win.

2nd pick: #1 (Lay Line Force) - Has the rail, fine early speed, and he's 3-for-7 on this surface and 0-for-4 elsewhere. Working sharply for this and his best race ever came here on a sloppy track.

3rd pick: #9 (Aaron's Way) - Charlest Town shipper is 5-for-7 overall and has won three stakes there racing against West Virginia-breds. Has fine early speed and is a big factor if he bringss his form with him. This is his first start away from his "home" track.
