Saratoga 7/18

[Melniko]

Posting my Saratoga plays today -

Race 1 - #5 Waitwaitdonttellme - $10 Win $20 Place
Ferraro and Coa teamed up to get me a big win with Disco Deano last weekend and I see a lot of the same positive vibes here. I guess it all depends on how she takes to the route, but the price will be right.

Race 2 - #4 Stop Giggling - $10 Win, $3 ex key box 4/1,2,3
I like the workout pattern as she comes back from a 4 month break. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day up there today (fast track?) and she hasn't run on a quick surface other than winter races at Aqueduct. She should at least be on the lead at some point in the race.

Race 3 - #3 Quiescent - $20 Win, $2 ex box 2,3,10
Clear speed of the race. Looking for an improved run after what may have been a big bounce in first try against winners.

The rest later, maybe live if I can.

Good luck today, Niko.

Wow. 28.80 winner already.

Slam them, bud.

Race 4 - #2 Courtly Banker - $20 Win, $5 ex key box 2/4,5
Joeb has a thread on here discussing trainer angles. Well, Tagg is 5 of his last 7 with grass routers off 30ish day layoffs. And we're getting a solid jockey upgrade to JC after a 2nd place stakes finish at Aqueduct.

Thanks boys, hope you had her!

Yes I did

Race 5 - #1 Stingy - $16 Win, $3 exacta 1,7/1,3,5,6,7

Race 6 - #7 Good Conduct - $20 Win, $3 ex key box 7/2,9
I'm completely throwing out the probable favorite (#10). The other Clement runner looks to be a better choice. But, I want some value with these unproven fillies and that's my only reasoning for landing on the #7.

 

[joeb4369]

Mark Casse and Clement both have 2 horses in this 6th race, my angle would be the #5 or the #9 at better odds, I'm not playing neither and of course it will bite me in the ass, good luck.

I saw that and thought of you!

If you played those 4 horses, you had the superfecta boxed

Race 7 - #3 Furious Anger - $10 Win, $2 exacta 2,3/5,6,7,9,10
Torn between the 2 and 3 so I'm putting my win bet on the higher price. Furious broke his maiden in his only other 3rd off the shelf. It would be a surprise, but he certainly fits and at double digits I can't lay off.

7-5, the higher priced Maker horse wins and beats his favorite.

The better price of Mike Maker wins in the 7th

Race 8 - #5 Soca - $20 Win $40 Place, $3 ex key box 5/1,3,8
This is my play of the day. The second-time Lasix angle is HUGE for Pletcher (30% winners) and this filly is absolutely bred for the grass. Should stay north of 8-1, come on Luis!

Looks like number five pulled up.
