8/11: Saratoga (Day 18)

[DogsUp]

well that stinks..good effort guys.

I'm gonna go out on a long limb and say there'll be a carryover.

Did Durkin have his eye on a Goo Goo Cluster when they were near the finish?

Tom Durkin cant remember the names of horses anymore. That was a horrible call. He corrected himself on the 1 and then did it again.

Good call on the favorite being a horrible bet.

Wow, the last 2 days were rough. Nice start with the 17-1, but a tough sequence. Playing the 2 in the last and calling it a week, Good Luck guys, will be back for the weekend!

Maybe I'm crazy but Uniform @ 10-1 is awfully attractive... great off-track pedigree and working well for her debut, and Casse is EXCELLENT with 2YO's.

WTF is wrong with the home team?

Horse opened as the 3rd choice and the favorite in the place and show pool. Guess they knew she was live...

[PSH]

Was definitely alive.
Cost $90,000 at the 2 year old training sale at Barretts in March and worked out in a quick 10.1 under tack. Plus the Chapel Royals have been running really really nicely out of these sales. My favorite freshman sire as far as getting precocius horses. 7-1 was quite generous given the runners who had started hadn't really shown anything and the other firsters were not all that exciting. Why do you ever want to bet on a Kimmel horse as a favorite?
Sorry to redboard.....but i was at work and could not post this one...

Looks like we have a bunch of 2 year old races carded on Wednesday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
