And the beat goes on. After a monster Saturday card, Saratoga doesn't disappoint.
I see R8 as a the "toughie" so to speak. Let's work through it, shall we?:
:1: Storm Prophet: Once again, the inside horse may well be the favorite. Hard to argue much, as Linda Rice is having a really solid meet and Irad is..., well, Irad. Very hard to dismiss from W/P/S and Exacta tickets.
:2: Peculiar Sensation: 1 for 12 the last 2 years, and taking on better. Rosario would need an incredible ride on this one to hit the board.
:3: Ode to the Hunt: 1 for 16, off of a near 6 month layoff while also getting the ultimate equipment change. Jose takes the mount, but this one is really tough to see.
:4: Shiraz: They haven't effed around as this 3YO has faced elders in his last 3 races. Problem is, this horse has been a pure Money Burner on those 3 races. 3/1 ML seems tough to wager upon.
:5: Yummy Bear: How can you not like that name? Donk hasn't saddled many this meet, and not many have had much success. Manuel isn't sending off fire alarms either. Class is suspect, and speed it suspect. Really tough to see.
:6: The Great Samuri: Back to back Donks. Smoking Joe Bravo gets this one, and it just broke its Maiden 2 back amid Maiden Claiming company. They then threw him in aganst Claiming company and were so surprised nobody wanted him that he lands here. I guess 'Toga was holding a 2 for 1 special.
:7: Jewel Can Disco: MTO. Won't run.
:8: Manifest Destiny: Really tough to make a case for this one as he will need to be on or near the lead, and I'm not sure he is fast enough to get that done. 15/1 ML should be about 40/1.
:9: E J's Legacy: 3rd race as a 4YO. Massive improvement in his last after the claim, and could be sitting on a monster. Respect.
:10: Bourbon Empire: MTO will not race.
:11: Nutzorboltz: Lowest odds he has ever been bet is 9/1. Would obviously be tough to see in the winners circle.
SUMMARY: I should have highlighted a better race. Anyway, I'll go :4::9: and look for the best looking "other" in the post parade.
