Saratoga POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM


R9 - Alw 85k N1X (Turf 5.5F)

#2 Zamquick (12-1) - Rosie is a nice fit for this mare and should get a nice stalking trip. WON $53.00
#9 Silver Union (10-1) - Barn excels at Turf Sprints and it doesn't hurt when top jock sticks around for Turf debut.
#8 Ballerina Belle (3-1) - Has been knocking on the door at this level, but could have a serious case of seconditis. 2ND
#1 Orient Harbor (7-2) - Expecting another strong late run.

R10 - G1 Forego

#8 Clearly Now (7-5) - Anything close to latest and they're all running for 2nd.
#10 Confrontation (10-1) - Obviously gets a class test today, but has shown the ability to lead all the way and rate off the pace.
#6 Palace (3-1) - Not sure if 6lbs is the difference between 6.5 lengths, but he likes this surface and is definitely capable of firing a big one. WON $10.60
#3 Vyjack (15-1) - There's enough pace lined up for him to uncork a late rally for a minor award. 3RD

R11 - G1 Woodward

#4 Moreno (2-1) - Some sharp handicappers might say that the time to bet him was last time. It looks like he'll get a similar trip unless he gets bum rushed early a la Travers last week (Bayern). Controlling speed. 2ND
#2 Itsmyluckday (5-2) - Gutsy effort in latest versus top choice and adds the hood for the rematch. WON $7.70
#9 Stephanoatsee (30-1) - Bullet work coming in after solid 2nd at today's distance. Rosario fits his style well.
#5 Prayer for Relief (12-1) - Hard to endorse for win honors, but has proven a solid underneath exotic runner versus similar. 3RD

R12 - Alw 85k N1X (Turf 8.5F)

#7 Belisarius (Ire) (3-1) - Improved every race under the care of top conditioner (O'Brien) and now adds lasix for the deadly combination of Mott/Rosario. Bet against at your own risk.
#12 Special Agent (5-1) - The slight cut back should help the cause tremendously and these connections are not to shabby either.
#8 Iron Power (7-2) - He'll be forwardly placed throughout, just have to question him late at the distance. 2ND
#9 Golden Soul (8-1) - This seems like a desperate move to switch back to the lawn after a dismal try last year at Kentucky Downs. This could actually wake him up and catch a minor piece here.

PK4 - 1 2 5 6 7 8 9 11/ 6 8 10 / 2 4 / 7 12 = $48 for $.50
