Saratoga Picks

Day 2 - 7/22/17

Race 1

#1 Mr Crow was necked in debut and has trained well since, the same race here should give win honors. #2 Marshall Plan is a pace horse who regressed while stretching and has not trained as well as the #1. #4 Mr Smarty pants has trained well and is coming in to his 3rd career race.

Race 2

#6 Tipsy Kitten is a winning of the last two at distance at Churchill Downs is dropping down in class from the last start and just bulleted a workout last week. Can single here on you exotics. #1 Daddys Home is comminginto 3rd career start and is on the 2nd form of the cycle who didn’t fire LTO and drops into a level closer to where he broke his maiden.#4 Voodoo Song is coming back to turf where his only win has been in the 1st start of the barn with Linda Rice, his running style should suit todays race.

Race 3

#5 Untamed Domain 1st Lasix after coming in 4th lto was gaining late so the extra distance should help. #2 Royal Holiday is a Wes Ward FTS but hasn’t has the best works. # 3 Holiday Treasure is a FTS who has had a bullet work.

Race 4

#4 Shuffle UP Has been a pace horse since entering the barn of John Servis and has won versus much better. I love John Servis in claiming races as he is one of the premier in the sport at the claim game. AN average race here should win it. #3 Voluntario Drops below level where hes previously one . HE is working out very well as of late even over the course. He is also shortening up and is entering the 2nd form of the cycle. #7 Bayerd is dropping into the claiming level hasn’t won since last year and will need extra firm footing.

Race 5

#4 Sporting Chance is the only experienced horse in the race who was caught late after pacing the field LTO and has trained well since.#8 Machismo is a FTS JV/Pletcher jockey trainer combo. #6Givemeamint fts who has shipped out from CD has out trained most others here, if he can get odds similar to M/L should make you very happy.

Race 6

12 Build to Suit is a son of Dominus has fired every start and is returning to sprint. 5 Teri O Geri drops from the NY Stallion Series best figure has come at distance and has been training well of late. 7 Heavy Meddle is entering the 3rd form going back to dirt will be forwardly placed.

Race 7

7 Evacuation shipping over from “Down Under” who has run up against graded stakes company down there has not run since October but has thrown in some good workouts. 12 High Hours is the other Wes Ward horse in here has shipped up from Brazil where hes been in the top 2 in all nine races there. Has one race state side in a placed race at Arlington Park. 6 End Play 3rd form shortening up win on the course has run best with Luis Saez who is back aboard.

Race 8

1 Volatility Index entering 4th career start which is a neck away from being 3/3 is moving up in class here but has worked great and should be there at the line, shortening up should help as well. 6 Gioia Stella toss the last in the slop on an off track shortening up win run her race on the front. 5 Priced to Perfection is shortening up and coming into a new barn is coming off a 10 month lay off haven’t given up on her yet.

Race 10

3 Lady Eli one of the best turf fillies to run in a long time is a multiple grade one winner and should be singled here. 6 Dickenson is one of the few horses to have beat Lady Eli which was two races back and hopes to be able to do it again here.

2 Antonoe 2/2 since coming to North America anfter a poor career in France but did win a G1 there.
