Derby Trail Forums - SAT Play - Travers Day & others

The account has taken a few hits the last few weeks, but it is still at plus 213units since the Stephen Foster Weekend. We will end our selections on closing day at Saratoga before starting a new one. Let's finish with a nice turn of foot. We'll start off with the $1 Million guaranteed Pick 4 starting in race 8 at Saratoga on SAT 8/26.

Saratoga - Race 8 - Ballston Spa G2

#3 Karen's Caper - She disappointed as the odds on favorite in her last, but Frankel seems fit to try Grade 2 company and lures Prado?

#7 My Typhoon - Classy chestnut filly for Live Oak will appreciate not facing Grade 1 caliber. She should go back to her stalking style as Gomez hops aboard for Mott.

Race 9 - Bernard Baruch Handicap G2

ALL - I could make a case for every runner in the race. Please note that #3 Fishy Advise will be scratched.

Race 10 - King's Bishop G1

#2 Henny Hughes - Outstanding in his last at Monmouth. He'll face much better here, but you can not overlook him.

#4 Court Folly - This race has the potential to fall in his lap again, a al Amsterdam G2 where he got the victory at 10-1. There is plenty of speed for him to run at.

Race 11

#5 Bernardini - Until another horse actually threatens him, he's a single. Appears to be head and shoulders over this group.

The Play 2 units Pick 4 - 3 7 with ALL with 2 4 with 5 = 64 units

Arlington Park - Race 7

#7 Miss Laken - Has been very consistent and the extra distance fits her nicely. She'll get a nice trip for Proctor / Guidry who win at 39% together at the meet.

The play - 20 units to win

Race 8 - Arlington Breeders' Cup Sprint Handicap

#6 Kelly's Landing - Lost all chance in his last when he missed the break in a 13 horse field in the G2 Smile Sprint at Calder and still managed to finish 4th. I expect a huge effort versus this bunch.

The play - 50 units to win

Ellis Park - Race 10 - Governors Handicap

#5 Chippewa Trail - I like the turf to dirt angle and he's arguably the class of the field. The Bernie Flint runner is capable of wiring this field and he's 6-1 on the morning line.

The Play - 40 units to win
