SARATOGA Race #10 (THE ALFRED G. VANDERBILT)

Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (EMCEE) - Lightly raced son of "Unbridled's Song" has won 3 of his 5 starts and has hit a triple digit speed figure in two of those and also did so when finishing a troubled 3rd at Aqueduct last March in the (G3) Tom Fool H. Training fast for his first race since May 5th and this Darley home-bred can cause a mild upset today.

2nd pick: #4 (Rothko) - One of two entered in ths stakes by trainer Steve Asmussen and the pair race uncoupled. Stalker is (4-3-1-0) at this trip and is the only member of this field with a local win.

3rd pick: #1 (Shackleford) - He's won as much money ($2.7M) as the rest of this talented field combined and is working fast for his first race since Memorial day when he won the prestigious Metropolitan H(G1) going a mile. This is a "prep" for the (G1) Woodward on Labor Day and may or not be fully cranked for this. Contender, but offers no value.
