Saratoga "Live!" 8/24/2013

[Teach]

Well, Travers Day. One of those days on the racing calendar that you look forward to. One that brings anticipation and excitement. Beautiful day here in the Boston area; looks nice, almost fall-like at "the Spa".

Race One: I like four horses to start the early double: :9: Rightfully So; :8: Colony Strike; :6: Tiree and :7: Bradester. Good Luck!

[JustRalph]

Race 1

:3: looks great on the track........

[JustRalph]

Jcapper JPR 1-4 makes up the Superfecta for 3k for $2 in the 1st race

my :3: got blocked on the rail......... I hate that........ :bang:

[Teach]

Race Two:

:11: Tiz Chris chased a runaway winner in his last. The highly-priced Tiznow-bred colt has been away from the races for nine months; yet his morning works are both solid and steady. Solid combo of John Velazquez and Todd Pletcher. Should benefit from cutting back one panel. Outside post should also help.

Others to consider: :10: Celebrated Talent; :7: Scam; :8: Dardanian

[The Spaniard]

Happy Travers!

R2: :7: SCAM has worked out a fast 47.2 B, very quick for McGaughey standars, Orb style. With a clean break he can give a fight to the favorite.

3rd

[JustRalph]

Jcapper

JPR 1 thru 3 make up the Trifecta, perfect order.....

I'm going to have to start betting these :lol:

[JustRalph]

Race 3

:9: :5: :6: :8:

[Teach]

Race Three:

:2: Stroll to Victory is my modest upset try. Trainer Ken McPeek is good with second starts on the grass. The Pulpit-bred colt just missed in his last in the same company. Solid morning work-tab.

Also: :9: Bobby's Kitten; :10: Lulu Le' Mon;:3: Mr Speaker

[The Spaniard]

R3: :6: PROOF OF CONCEPT, by an excellent European turf sire out of triple grade 2 winner. Getting some money in the windows. :10: LULU LE MON looks terrific in the paddock.

if speed is as good as yesterday,,,,,,,,, the :5: should be golden if nobody goes with him

[Tom]

I thought like you did.....didn't see the 9 going out like that.

[frankcolt]

Well that sucked- had :9: :5: exactor plus some other BS bets

If it was a mile the :5: would have been there

[JustRalph]

I thought like you did.....didn't see the 9 going out like that.

Ken Ramsey was just giving everybody the finger.........by doing that......

:lol:

[Quagmire]

RACE 4 :3: DO I AMUSE YOU

[Teach]

Race Four:

:11: Marriedtothemusic cuts back a half-panel. Second in state-bred stakes, Claramount, in last. Citidancer-bred colt should be out and winging on a speed-favoring track. He'll be playing catch me if you can. Solid duo of jockey Cornelio Velasquez and trainer Dom Galluscio.

Also: :12: Crafty Dreamer; :1: Dr Figawi; :9: Kid Blast

[JustRalph]

This should tell the tale on the track...........lots of speed here.

if the closers can't get close this time........they won't all day?

:14: :12: :13: are intriguing if :11: backs up......... ?

:9: pushes it?

Track is pretty biased, I think.
Time to move back to Woodbine - poly has it all over dirt.
So much a 14 great races...I'll pass the rest. Dirt, at least.

When Prado wired the first, one had to figure the track was cranked up. I wonder what Mike Smith and Jose Lezcano are planning in the King's Bishop.
I am a big fan of Majestic Hussar since his maiden win last year here. Smith is gonna have to hustle from the outside.

[The Spaniard]

R5: :3: ARCHER HILL terrific at the paddock the Andy Serling pick + :6: HIDDEN VOW came back a new horse from long layoff. Exacta box.

RACE 7 :6: WILDCATTER

[Teach]

Race Seven:

Looking for early speed in all the right places. :12: One Golden Road does have an early turn of foot. Switch to Julien Leparoux; he good on the grass. Should be time to angle from outside post to rail. Hopefully not caught three-wide. Mike Maker is good on the grass and very good off a first claim. Much will be known in the first ten seconds.

Also: :5: Adirondack Dancer; :4: Rivendell; :1: Wild Billum

[JustRalph]

Software love the :1:

but I think it's a front runners track still here on the turf

Let's try :4: :3: :12: :1:

:11: scares the hell out of me on this track

49-1 ? gotta put a little money on him.......?

[dartman51]

Across the board on the :4: :ThmbUp: If it's a fast pace the :11: could steal it.

[Teach]

If he gets to the front, Jose Lezcano on :4: Rivendell puts people to sleep.

[Teach]

Race Eight:

I'm going with :7: Cantonic. Should be on or near "the engine".

Also: :2: Rapscallion; :6: Pick Of The Litter; :10: North Star Boy

[The Spaniard]

R8: :2: RAPSCALLION, speed and brother of one of the best stayers (2 mile +) of Europe. Speed plus stamina.

win and daily double

:2: RASCALLION - :4: I'AM MOM'S FAVORITE

[dartman51]

I like the :7: a lot, but I also like the :9: , on the turf. PT decision for me. Maybe just a box. :ThmbUp:

but he is up against the bias

Alive in pick 4 to the 1-6/10/1,3

[turninforhome10]

Sar Race 9
The 1 and 2 get caught up in speed duel and leave the 5 and 6 to close. Like Hungry Island to run well but might be in for the black type. The 6 has improved and beat elders for first time. Can fly late and Saez is riding lites out.
5-6\1-2
1-2\5-6 exactas

The speed did not stop.
Finished 1-2-7-5. I had a feeling the 5 was there for the type and came up short. Good race.

[JustRalph]

I gotta think the :8: is going to go.......only way they have a chance.......
