Saratoga opening day

[The Spaniard]

Race 1: Bred top and bottom for turf, :6: ROYAL BLESSING has been showing a very long, persistent turn of foot, and looks ready to confront open company for the first time. The best in the money shot for me.

Race 2: veteran :6: UNACCOUNTABLE made a very promising run after 6 months layoff and looks dead fit to fight another victory.

race 5: :8: TALK TO ME place/show

2nd ($6.10 - 4.60)

[The Spaniard]

race 6: :9: NECK OF THE MOON's got all the lights in green for her second victory. I don't see this favorite walking the graveyard, and 2/1 is fine for me.

win NP

21.00 > 43.3 terrific speed

[The Spaniard]

Race 7:Enigmatic sprint. :6: STRIKE ONE, unexposed on dirt, rose his Beyer 15 points (77 > 92) while rising in class. Two weeks later improved his work by 6 lenghts (49 B > 47.4 B). He's got the profile of a strong progressive with excellent tactical speed.

congratulations to Nick Zito for winning today with SONNYANDPALLY. i stopped betting that horse 10 races ago. i just couldn't chase him any more

[The Spaniard]

on paper very difficult, but it was a very weak bunch and finally he found his race by default.

we sent that horse up over a year ago after he was training lights out, he went backwards and finally got the job done. he might have just found his confidence, but i missed the wedding and don't want to be around for the funeral.

Any thoughts on Del Mar tonight?

[The Spaniard]

I spent all my time in Saratoga.
I like (4)TOMANYTOMATOES in the first. She's won 4 out of 5 runs in claiming races. Heavily bet down by the connexions.
