Saratoga Two A Day

[Dahoss]

Day 25

Best bet: Race 6- #8 Portage
She's looked like a totally different filly in Linda Rice's barn and her last was her best yet. I think she projects to sit a very nice trip outside the speed and Rice has strong numbers with horses who have won their last race coming back.

Longshot: Race 8- #4 Bernt Again
I wanted to go outside the box here in a race that I think will feature some chaos. She's been much improved this year, ran well last time and is drawn well. If Manny can stay inside and find a seem, I think she can be right there

Portage ran her race but was no match for a filly with a future, paying $4.20 to place. I got the ride and trip I wanted with Brent Again, but she’s just not as good as some of these but ran well for 3rd

Day 26

Best bet: Race 6- #10 King James
To me this is a case of this horse being much better than any of these other on dirt. Trainer is no bargain and I have no idea what the price will be, but he stands out to me.

Longshot: Race 4- #5 Western Ghent
Not necessarily a long shot per set but I think the price will be fair here and I like this horse a lot. If you look at his PPs you’ll see names like Two Phil’s, Extra Anejo and Slip Mahoney. He isn’t facing anywhere near that today. I think he’s been in way over his head class wise and I also think he’s a sprinter. He’s in the right spot today and should give a much better account of himself

The seconds are really piling up. King James got a ridiculous ride and rallied for 2nd paying $3.10 to place and Western Ghent ran a much improved race but was unable to hold off another Linda Rice horse paying $4 to place

Wendell Fong got a decent ride getting inside and moving up what I thought was a good rail, then Katie got off it for no reason and looked like the horse was swimming. Savage Spirit was nowhere

Day 28

Best bet: Race 7- #2 Aspray
I'm throwing out the Belmont Oaks, because I think she got the wrong kind of trip that day. She was uncovered and probably doesn't want to go that far. Her prior races were all very strong before that and I think with her draw she will be able to enjoy and good trip and prove best. Chad Brown won last years renewal of this with a horse who bombed in the Oaks and I'm hoping lightning strikes twice.

Longshot: Race 9- #5 Fireline
Another pick where I'm just throwing out my horses last race. Delaware is a weird track and to me it looked like she was running in spots. For Chad to run here, have to think he thinks she fits and I thought her last few works I watched were very good. 10 furlongs at Saratoga is a war and I think she's the kind of horse that will apprciate it more than others.

Fireline will probably be a big price because of that Delaware race. I thought the track was playing to speed horses that day and she just never had much of a chance to win that one. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her run big today. Good luck.
