Let’s do Saratoga

[Michelangelo]

Luis Saez is an excellent speed jockey. They scratched Irad on the other speed horse in here. Don't see why Saez can't wire this field.

Thanks, you too.
It's been a good start, I'm two for two in my thread and just hit a 32-1 shot at Woodbine.

Wowza!!!!!

 

[Melniko]

did you post that 32/1 shot at WO Mel? I do not see it.

No, one of my live plays. Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.

good deal Mel. no worries.

...and actually 2 for 3 on posts, I'm so excited I forgot about the opener at Saratoga. I stupidly backed that Barclay Tagg firster.

haha I'd be excited too!!! Nothing like a winning bomb.

Gotta pass on the fourth.

Just posting some info…

So far there have been 11 turf races at 5 and 1/2 furlongs. 9 of the winners and 2nd place finishers have come from off the pace with only one gate to wire winner( yesterday on a good track). Firm ground on turf sprints is definitely favoring closers. Good luck.

Great bias info, Charlie. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't trust this race. Irad is aboard the first time starter clear favorite. Normally that's an angle that I would follow as the barns know who is ready and a special competitor. But the rest of these horses all have angles that would make me use them in another race. where I can throw out some horses. Wouldn't be surprised by anything here. Pass.

Assuming turf speed is OK for routes. Charlie quoted stats for turf sprints.

Maybe turf speed is no good at any distance.

Thinking the turf must be soft from all the rain we've had here in the northeast for weeks now. That would kill speed horses.

Should sit behind Irad and Lezcano and pounce when they tire.

The #2 had no excuses. He just didn't fire when he had the opportunity. Disappointing.

Last chance. Let's take a shot with the closing class horse.

#2 Daddyslilbosslady had a rough trip last time coming out of same race as the #5. Kendrick should get her in good position to close into what should be a quick pace.
