Featured Stakes Races
Race 9 @Del-Mar: The Gr.I Del-Mar Oaks 1 1/8th turf
#7 Misty Ocean (Best Bet)
She stepped up in graded stakes for the 1st time at the same 1 1/8th distance on June 7 and won. What was impressive about the race was that she found another gear and pulled away the final 1/8 of a mile. She did it after being a handful the 1st half of the race. She is now stepping up here in Gr. I company at the same distance. Will be tough on the lead. Other horses may not want to test her early on, so she may get an easy lead. Watch out !!
Race 8 @Saratoga: The Gr.I Sword Dancer Handicap 1 1/2 turf
#1 Equitable
3rd start of a layoff and the 2nd attempt at a Gr.I. What draws me to this horse is the #1 post that he has. In most of his races he has had to go wide on the far turn but still finshes strong. Today with an inside post and not much early speed to contend with, he can get a perfect trip. You will get a good price on this horse.
Race 9 @Saratoga: The Gr.I Alabama 1 1/4 dirt
#1 Music Note
Hard to go against this one. As the distances get longer, she gets better
Race 9 @Monmouth Park: Gr.III Iselin 1 1/8 dirt
#5 Kiss the Kid
This horse puts in good efforts when he goes from turf to dirt. He is doing that today. Centeno climbs aboard for the 1st time , which is a plus as well.
