Richies Love is the 3-1 morning-line favorite, with Engraved next at 7-2. Prices stretch out to 50-1 on Nothingbutnitro, so the board has real depth.

Michael Miceli sends out 2 runners (Sweetnessthrtyfour and Richies Love), which tells you the barn thinks the conditions suit.

Among the riders, Flavien Prat has the best New York strike rate in our records: 26% wins from 94 mounts.

Forecast: partly sunny, high of 62°F.

Best betting value in Race 8

For a straight bet, Nothingbutnitro is the price play at 50-1. To cover our top pick as well, a $1 exacta box of Engraved and Nothingbutnitro costs $2.

To chase a bigger payout, use Aggression (10-1) underneath in trifectas.

Morning-line odds are the track handicapper’s forecast, not the final price. Pari-mutuel odds move with the money until the gates open.
