Two at Toga (2023)

[moses]

Two horses for Wednesday.

Race 6 - #13 Honey Dijon, 8/1 ML. I liked her earlier in the meet and Joe Sharp sent her back out for a blazing workout last week. The horses she was up against last time were pretty good. This group should be a lot easier as this one has been taken off the turf. Gaffalione still aboard, hopefully this one just needed a race.

Race 8 - #5 Pharaoh’s Heart, 7/2. I’m against Raging Sea here and hoping this one can jump out to the lead and never look back. The horse has talent, winning by 19 lengths two back. Not really impressed by anyone else in here. I’ll take 7/2 on this one.

^Nice work Sunday moses, should've taken your picks instead of mine. Durkin's Call looked like a sure winner at the top of the stretch but hung like a chandelier - the other two picks just weren't good. Finally got around to updating the records:

Wagered: $152.00
Returned: $211.00

Be back with picks for today later.

I wanted to talk about race 5 a bit.

Keri Brion has a 2YO in a dirt sprint today. I’ve grown accustomed to seeing her with the hurdles. She’s a very good trainer and glad to see her with a starter at Saratoga (outside of a hurdles race).

That race is ripe for an absolute bomb to come in. I doubt it will be her horse (doesn’t seem to have much success with 2YO and the works are nothing special), but Zadorsky lost by 9 lengths to Gypsy Tales (who just didn’t really show up this weekend), Shinmering Allure faltered after a fairly moderate pace last time out (to a horse that lost to Zadorsky by 6 lengths), and Crazy Cami may run well with the addition of blinkers but was not impressive in her first start (though that most recent work is nice.)

I’m guessing Zadorsky and the Chad horses will get bet because none of the horses look like much. Could Contessa throw in another 2YO bomb? Maybe a dirt sprint specialist like Santana steals it?

Personally, I really like the #1 Lady Prospect. Rudy has been a bit cold at Saratoga since the first week or so but…Saez aboard. The works are good. Both sire and dam were precocious. I’m going to watch the prices but will be firing hard if that horse is 8/1 or above. If one of my other horses scratches, she would definitely be my next bet.

Thanks…and WOW on your return so far. Keep it up!

Honey Dijon scratched so let’s roll with #1 Lady Prospect in Race 5.
