Saratoga Two A Day

[Dahoss]

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.

Aspray sat a good trip and won going away paying $8.70 and $4.80. Fireline was awful

She's Fire didn't fire. Set Sail set the pace, tired late finishing 3rd

Hard to believe we're down to the last two weeks of the meet. Big week coming up, hoping the weather cooperates a little.

Day 30
Best bet: Race 3- #1/1A Jacobson entry
I prefer Mid Day Image on the cutback here. If he ends up scratching I might have to alter this pick. I like the cutback, Jacobson barn going well right now and I think he fits really well. If High Front wins, I lose. That Canterbury race sticks out like a sore thumb and I need to see him do that again

Longshot: Race 6- #1 Albedo
I thought this one ran okay in spots in his debut. Didn't break sharp, but made his way into contention and was green through the lane. Blinkers, Saez and projected improvement 2nd out make this one dangerous IMO

Both picks were awful. Can’t get any momentum started and am pressing at this point.

Day 31

Best bet- Race 6- #5 Sousa Summer
Loses Rosario, who gave him a perfect ride last time when he ran down a well meant horse. Should get plenty of pace to run at and he really seems to thrive here

Longshot: Race 3- #5 Unanimous Consent
I expect a much better effort today 2nd off the long break. At one point this one was one of Chad’s better 3 year olds. He’s a horse that needs a busy ride, so in retrospect Irad might’ve been a bad fit last time. Gets Manny Franco back, should get some pace to run at.
