Saratoga Thoroughbred

I Play Exacta Boxes

In races with 3 selections the total cost will be $6 for a $1 bet In races with 4 selections the total cost will be $12 for a $1 bet

The Win Candidates are in order from our top pick to our fourth (or third).

However, we root for the two biggest prices to run 1st and 2nd as it helps our payoffs in our exacta boxes. It does not matter to me if it is our top pick or our fourth- I am trying to make money!

If you have any questions just let me know,

#5 Technical Analysis-has a 5-3-1 record from her 10 starts and has won 2 of 3 here with a second. She is coming off a big effort in a grade 1 here missing by just a length and a half and should out class these.

Selections 3-1-5 Rating ⭐⭐⭐

#3 Jackie’s Warrior-Champion sprinter has won 12 of his 16 starts with a second and a third including going a perfect 5 for 5 over this track. He is as fast as they come and looks to add another 320k to his 2.6 million in earnings.

#1 Baby Yoda– does his best running over this track going a perfect 3 for 3. He will be a good price and is the one we need to fire to help our payoffs.

#5 Cody’s Wish-has won 5 of his last 6 with a neck loss in between. He is at the top of his game and is the one to beat.

Selections 5-2-8-10 Rating ⭐⭐

#5 Baltasar-got the score three back then missed the repeat by just a neck. He really did not run his race in his first start over this track last out while finishing 4th. He stretches back out to his winning distance and should be close from the start.

#2 Life Changer-finished a length and a half behind our top pick two back then finished a length in front of that rival last out. He runs for 23% winning trainer and is the one to beat.

#8 Luni Sima-won by 6 then finished second in three straight before a disappointing 4th last out. He gets I.Ortiz who rode him to his 6 length score and looks to rebound at a price.

#10 Misbehaved-875k colt from the Pletcher barn put it all together last out in his 6th career start and drew off to win by 3. He is bred to be a champ and should be a good price.

Selections 5-1-3 Rating ⭐⭐

#5 Ranger Fox-came off a 7 month layoff last out and went wire to wire to get the score at Belmont in his best effort to date. This 310k colt shows several good works since and will be close from the start.

#1 The Entry-#1 Comedy Town-finished second at this same distance and level last out missing by just a length in his first start over this course in his best effort to date. He will be a decent price and looks for another in the money finish. #1A Old Chestnut-came off a 3 month layoff and showed speed before tiring late against tougher. He drops in class and should improve.

#3 Discreet Tune-5 year old has a 6-4-5 record from his 23 career starts. He gets I.Ortiz and could be in the payoffs.

Selections 6-8-1 Rating ⭐⭐⭐

#6 Jack Christopher-won his first four in a row before stretching out to a mile and an eighth last out and missed by 2 lengths. He cuts back to 7f today and should get back to his winning ways.

#8 Gunite-does his best running over this track winning 2 of 3 with a second and is coming off his best effort while winning a grade 2 here last out.

#1 Conagher-has won three of his last four with a second. He looks like the speed of the speed and will be the one to catch.

Selections 1-3-2 Rating ⭐⭐

#1 Letruska– The defending champ won this same stake last year and has won 9 of her last 12 with a second. She has won two of three over this track and is training fast. If she is allowed to settle down on the lead she will prove to be a handful to reel in late.

#3 Clairiere-has won 3 of her 4 starts this year with a second and shows beating every one of her rivals in here at lest once in the process. She is at the top of her game and it is probably foolish to try to beat her.

#2 Search Results-has won 2 of her last 3 with a 2 lengths loss to our second pick in between. If she goes out and pushes our top pick for the lead she may doom both of them.

Selections 3-6-1-9 Rating ⭐⭐

#3 Broome-The last time this 6 year old shipped from overseas he missed by just half a length in second in the Breeders Cup Turf at Del Mar. He finds an easier field for his trip over today and is the one to beat.

#6 Gufo-the defending champion won this same stake last year by a neck. Trainer Clement adds blinkers and we should get a decent price.

#1 Adhamo-rallied to get the score last out in a grade 1 while running his best race to date. He shows two good works over the turf here and is at the top of his game.

#9 Channel Maker-Won this same stake two years ago. He has won two of his last three to bring his career earnings to 3.6 million and can run with these at a price.

Selections 6-8-1-2 Rating ⭐⭐⭐

#6 Epicenter-has won 5 of 9 with 3 seconds. He came off a two month layoff last out and got the score in his first start over this track while winning the Grade 2 Jim Dandy. He won’t be far off the pace and will prove tough to hold off late.

#8 Zandon-looked like a good thing while winning the Blue Grass then missed by just a length and a half in the KY Derby. He came off a 2 month layoff last out and finished just a length and a half behind our top pick and should be right there again today.

#1 Cyberknife-has won 5 of 9 with 2 seconds and is coming off back to back wins. He is coming off his career best and will come running late.

#2 Rich Strike-has been this distance only other time in his career and won some race called the KY Derby at 80-1. He will be a good price again today and could run into the payoffs.

#7 Heymackit’sjack-finished second in back to back including last out in his first start over this course missing by just a neck in his best effort to date. Trainer adds blinkers, I.Ortiz stays in the irons and they will come from off the pace.

#2 Feathers Road-finished behind our top pick in his last two, less than a length behind in each and will come running late.

#5 Ripe for Mischief-finished 5 lengths behind our top pick last out. Saez stays aboard and they could run into the payoffs at a price.

#4 Empire Sky-finished third in both of his career starts. He runs for 20% winning trainer and looks for another in the money finish.

#2 Invincible Gal-came off an 8 month layoff last out and rallied to miss by just two lengths. She needed that one, has a win from just two starts over this course and will come running late.

#1 Parnac-came off a 9 month layoff after shipping over from Germany and joining the Clement barn. She rallied to finish 4th in her NA debut missing by only 2 ¾ lengths. She needed that one and will come running late.

#9 Miss Tapirado-rallied to finish second last out going this same distance on the turf at Belmont in her best race to date. She has some speed and should be close from the start.

#4 Wicked Grove-finished 4th last out missing by just 2 lengths in her first start over this course last out. She runs for 22% winning trainer and should be a good price.
