8/16: Saratoga (Day 25-Yaddo, Saratoga Sunrise)
 

Have to apologize immediately for missing the fact that Aarons Orient had drawn into the MSW 3rd until after the 2nd race had concluded. The Asmussen Orientate colt had been a troubled 4th in the Corfu-Pure Sensation event 7/25 and was obviously a major player in Thursday's heat after finding his way off the AE list. I hope some of you added him to the early P4 play for at least an additional $12.50 (.50), as the $378 return with All That, Mr. Starr's Report & Much Stronger was almost 50% above the parlay.

Mr. Starr's Report at 9-1 helped boost the day along, with Hot Squeeze, another Best Value notion, keying a nice MSW bingo in the 7th with May Shares and Flying K C. Slumber's comeback was very impressive in the 9th for Juddmonte and Mott ($6.00) and Show Some Lovin capped the good day at a very generous $8.30 in the nightcap. Hope everyone did well! Nice Friday card at Spa and night action at Del Mar features a $110k carryover...
