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
Leaves the account at plus 39 units
Good Racing Luck
