Wednesdays Saratoga Picks... for Fun Only..feel free to add on

[1st_Saturday_in_May]

Heres mine. Reaching a bit with some longer shots but I think they have a good chance today...

R1 : Mama Theresa (5/2) - Drop in class from Alw4300 to Clm30000 and stalking style fits at Saratoga. Also intrigued by Judy Liner S. (10/1) but 1-21 lifetime is a big deterrant.

R2 : Storm Force (12/1) - Common sense says Pletcher firster Reaffirm (3/1) or Zito firster Righteous (9/2) but I think the Overbrook son of Storm Cat, Storm Force, shows some value at 12/1 and I liked his late moving last time out at CD going 4.5f.

R3 : Pletcher Entry (3/1) or Yard-arm (10/1) - Lot of pace with the 2, 3, 4, & 8 tell me Pletchers in this melting pot of graded stakes talent. Also willing to take a fly on the South African Yard-arm making his first American start for McLaughlin/Gomez. 7yo gelding is 4-3-1-0 at the distance and 11-17 on the turf.

R4 : Precision Perfect (6/1) - Makes third start in form cycle and picks up Velazquez.

R5 : Osceola County (10/1) - Broken Vow firsters hitting at 14% on the grass and has been working well for his debut. Overbrook's Hidden Grove (5/1) will be tough as well as Motion/Velazquez teaming up with Gilded Arrow (7/2).

R6 : Florida Thunder (12/1) - Think theres a solid chance that Desormeaux takes him wire to wire. Labocetta is hitting with 27% first off claim and 37% up one class.

R7 : La Cumamh De (4/1) - The sire, Nunzio, was the name of a character on Boy Meets World once which gives major props in my book. Other than that, this race sucks and is a huge NY-bred bore...

R8 : Silver Timber (3/1) - Winner of two stright off the trainer switch and I think he'll be a bit more fit than Hough's Trippi Appeal who has been off 11 months and have never tried the surface.

R9 : Stormina (9/2) - Take your pick here with a lot of talented fillies/mares entered. I'm quite privy to Pletcher/Velazquez and I like this ones running style. Then again, the blanket finishes never go my way!

R10 : Strikeuptheblues (3/1) - Like Bush/Santos in this wide open affair
