I don't know.....I honestly focus less on that than most people. I think there is a misconception by many people of the overall quality of racing anywhere these days. I wouldn't have even noticed there were six straight maiden races if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm more focused on handicapping the races, forming opinions, and finding bets. I have bets in the two turf maiden races, I suppose the big favorite ( Quiet Mover ) is close to a cinch in the 3rd, and the likely second choice ( Driven by Success ) should win the 6th. As for the 2YO races.....that's what we have at Saratoga.
The 8th is an extremely interesting race.
Sunday's card was weak early and extremely strong late. Considering we are running 62 races a week ( as opposed to 46 or 47 downstate ) things are pretty good.
