RACE 1 – EXACTA BOX – 1-3-4-6
RACE 2 - #4 – PARADISE LANE – 5/1 – WP – She should up at the Spa on the work tab 3 months to date.
She’s finally in the starting gate after 10 consecutive works and all the real work was done prior to her past two works.
She must’ve had gate issues as they worked her from the gate 3 consecutive times.
We feel with a clean break today, she’ll be finishing strong down the lane in this salty field of maidens.
ADDED WAGER - EXACTA KEY – 4/5 OVER ALL
RACE 3 - #5 – ITSAKEYPER – 6/1 – WP – He should sit the perfect trip under Junior. They’ll let all the speed go and swallow the up down the lane.
RACE 4 – PASS
RACE 5 - #12 – SALINE RIVER – 10/1 – WP – This strictly looks like a connex wanting to win at Saratoga.
He’s been off for 117 days, but has been working steady since arriving at Saratoga on a weekly basis, so we the drop to $20K tag isn’t a soundness issue.
We feel this home-bred will run a career race as they’ve gelded him and also have added the hood for his comeback race!
RACE 6 – #15 – MOVING PICTURES – 6/1 – WP – He’s proven over the main track, but his issue is, he doesn’t like to win, he’s always coming up a nod short at the finish line.
Maybe today, he’ll get his second career win!
RACE 7 - #7 – NOMOS – 4/1 – WP – This son of Uncle MO, took to the blades like a duck does to water.
He just blistered the bladed in the AM just a week ago and is sitting on another big effort.
He’ll flank all the early speed and then sling shot his way to the winners’ circle.
RACE 8 – EXACTA BOX – 1-2-4-5
RACE 9 - #2 – ARREBATO – 15/1 – WP – This son of Goldenscents has run some quality races to date.
We really like this work pattern leading to his 1st start here at Saratoga.
If he can run back to anywhere near his number from the stake race at Monmouth, he’ll be battling to the finish line.
RACE 10 - #6 – RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA – 8/1 – WP – This is what we call messy past performances!
She’s earned $83k of her $108K career earnings over the blades!
What you have to realize, the past two race tracks she’s run at, neither of them has a turf course.
This is why she looks UGLY in the past performances.
She ran against excellent fields in 2022 over the blades and is facing much lesser today than in 2022.
