It's amazing how much better the field for the $150K G2 HoF is at Saratoga that the $400K G1 Secratariat was at Arlington.
I guess it shows how much connections want to win at the Spa.
With all these Fancy pedigrees, you would think the connections would be going after the G1.

I think Take the Points would be hard pressed to hit the board with this group.

I think he had two candy trips at COL Downs.
Then he had a big pace edge / bias edge Saturday at Arl.

Have you lost your mind?

The horse was 3-4 wide the entire time, not where you want to be on this course.....

Did you watch the races on Million Day?
You are acting like he had a bad trip.

So being 3 wide on both turns without cover is a good trip??

Keep on betting into the Arlington pools for me please....

You say speed was good, but speed was good on a completely different course, they have two courses, an inner and the million course on Million Day. The reason speed did so well on the earlier card was because they were on the inner, which is like Fairplex plus turf....

So I guess Dynaforce won because she is just better than Pure Clan.
