Saratoga Track must be changing.... earlier the outside horses could not get a hold of the surface... now in race 6 both the 11 and the 12 battle for the win.

Very surprised that JV sent Simple Interest for the lead there, didn't he realize there was no way that horse gets the lead against this group and his best shot was to try to sit behind the speed?

Max looked strong and was best, still thought my play had a shot

I give credit to JV for not allowing Albarado to walk the dog there.

Complete fuking nosnse this meet has degraded to.

Hard horse to fathom. Baffert obviously right about not wanting to run Fast Bullet. Sage Valley just put in no effort whatsoever, Justin Phillip really isn't all that good and the Jackson Bend before the accident would have won this.

I didn't see it before the race, but looking back at it, the race was probably ripe for a bomb.

Well after watching Saratoga 9th race, and seeing DAS win the Forego Stakes.... I have a better feeling about Successful Dan in the Woodward Stakes....

Ridiculous, you could hear the Assistant Starters yelling "no, no, no" and they opened the gate, Paynter obviously not ready which changed the entire complexion of the race.

You ever get that feeling that NYRA does not like Baffert ?

Happy they all came through okay, I guess Ron the Greek was alright after his spill walking out....

The start was fair, my opinion was just poor. Try to get out of a day of poor opinions.
