Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (STROLLDOWNBROADWAY) - The probable favorite missed by a head here at this level and distance 13 days ago in his first start since Oct. 9. Race was his best yet and trainer Jim (007) Bond brings him back quickly for this. The top selection.

2nd pick: #9 (Rudy Rudy Rudy) - The main sped he just missed at Belmont last out and moves off the rail to the 10 post. He has previous experience on this course and his speed makes him very dangerous.

3rd pick: #11 (Chapel Chief) - He took some betting action when debuting in the same race as "Broadway" and finished a close-up fourth despite some traffic issues. Good Finger Lakes barn (Dan Conway Jr.) brings him back in 13 days and gelding is a threat if he scratches in off the a.e. list.

4th pick: #7 (Diceman) - Another who exits the same local contest as the top pick he raced close up and tired slightly in the last 1/16th. Nice useful debut and normal second-out improvement makes him a contender.
