LIVE Traver's Day
R2 Saratoga
As tough a maiden race as you'll find. 11 go to the gate in a 9F turf battle amongst some expensive horse flesh.  Sport is logical off a horrid trip last out, but I'll look to beat. I'll also go against the Brown/Castellano in the  .
 Kitten's Gold is obviously sired by Kitten's Joy with Dynaformer on the bottom. FTS is a tough play against a number of these, but is making a good impression to me and gets the best turf rider in the states in the irons.  Patterson Cross first race isn't nearly as bad as the form looks. Off the layoff and Mott has brought him up from GS. Has been training nicely coming into this race and is getting bet.  Ballagh Rocks is the other Mott entry who has been close in his last 2 tries.

Nice ctown 
R3 Saratoga
I just haven't been comfortable with this race at all.  makes sense as he switches back to the Baffert barn. is making his 1st start as a 3YO and is a very talented colt.  is who I thought would be favored, and is currently the 4th/5th choice in an 8 horse field.  is the one I really want to make a case for as expectations for this one have always been high. Has switched to sprinting. Is that the trick? is Brown/Irad Ortiz and is getting hammered. Every horse in this field has shown something that they can win this race. Need 7/1 to 8/1 on the or I'm passing.

I thought this race was impossible. Pace scenario is tough to figure and nobody seems to tower over the field on any level to the point that not being able to project the way it will run isn't all that important. Played a pick three and used almost all of them. Probably get busted by Jacobson going wire to wire or something.

Oh well I'd have almost rather have gotten busted by Jacobson then get another Chad Brown favorite going five deep.

Ha. Not that hard after all I guess. Take the Brown/Ortiz that is getting hammered at the windows.
Impressive win over a field that looked good on paper, but a number that didn't even show up. make up the back end of the field. really had no excuses as he had the right trip. Just not enough horse. dominated.

Not gonna overthink this one, as I'll go with the "class" horse in the field Last Waltz. I double checked, and nope, Time and Motion isn't in the race. 3/1 or higher and she is a W play for me.
The interesting bomb in here is the Wedding Dress. Albertrani gets DeCarlo back in the saddle. She doesn't have a race to date that says she can win this thing, but she is a 3YO and they have expected quite a bit out of her.

Welp, a bunch of other dumb people along with myself put late money on the , and she ran like a $5K claimer. Her aggressive racing past has obviously caught up to her. has found a home on the lawn. Her next race will assuredly be in Graded Stakes company.
