Day 28
Best bet- Race 8- #2 Growth Engine- ran well here last summer. Won his prep in fine fashion in Jersey last time and should get plenty of pace to run at.

Longshot- Race 9- #7 Valid Point- it’s worth watching a replay of his last, if for no other reason, watching him have nowhere to go for nearly 3/4’s of the race is really something. I think the fact he shows up here is a very good sign. It’s not like Chad Brown didn’t already hold a strong hand and there were much easier spots he could’ve picked. I won’t pretend to think I can judge workouts, but I watched his workouts since getting to Saratoga and while he is a turf horse, outworked Peter Pan winner Country Grammar on dirt and looks like the rider is having a hard time holding him because he is so full of run. Has more speed than his stablemates early so should get first run and figures to be at least 10-1. Good enough for me.

Day 29
Best bet- Race 7th- #3 Free Enterprise- I feel like he could possibly be speed of the speed if he’s sent. Considering some of the mind boggling rides we’ve seen from Castellano this meet that might be wishful thinking but ultimately I think he’s the best horse in the race.

Longshot- Race 8- #1 Call Me Love- she should be 5th choice in here and I think she has a very good shot at winning. I think the others have some question marks. Will Mean Mary be as effective shorter? Is Rushing Fall as effective at 9 furlongs? Is Sistercharlie of the last two back or is she ready to be a mom? Give me the price and the hottest combo at the meet

Day 30
Best bet- Race 2- #6 Impazible Donna- off for a long time but debut was strong and seems to be working well. Not much in here and like outside draw

Longshot- Race 8-#1 Atomic Blond- she projects to be 5th choice in here, is drawn well, working well and I like the trainer switch.

Best bet- Race 6-#3 Gone Glimmering- Stalks Glass Ceiling and wears that one down late

Longshot- Race 4- 1/1A entry- I see them as going off 4th betting choice at best and I think both have upside.

Best bet- Race 4-#3 Southern Brigade- attracts Rosario, first off the claim for Sharp who won first off the claim yesterday, won last time, figures to get right trip, along in time

Longshot- Race 7- #4 Honey Won’t- has to be a hot pace with the 2,5,9. He’s the best closet and should be along in time at a fair price

Best bet-Race 11- #7 Midnight Surprise- think this one is stakes quality. Expecting another strong effort

Longshot- Race 5- #3 Love and Love- ignore the turf prep, should be a fair price

I will most likely use for coverage but might be the first to get axed when structuring tickets.

Even the geared down comment is misleading because Irad was whipping just before he wrapped up. I’m hoping on improvement and banking on a big step forward
