Saratoga 8/31 Race #9
 

Heading for my annual trip to the Spa this weekend and picked up a form for Friday the 31st. I noticed Dominquez got off the 11 (Synthesizer) and opted for the 7 (Little Dale) for some reason. I've looked at every angle and I can't for the life of me figure out why he would do that.

Synthesizer is dropping big time from $62k ALW (where he won) to this
$35k CLM.

Little Dale is dropping from a $50k OC and hasn't raced that well in other ALW races.

Has been on Little Dale before but was back in 2011 with a 6th place finish and a 3rd place finish.

Has been on Synthesizer for 5 of 6 starts (5-3-2-0)

I was going to include the 11 (Synthesizer) but now he is making me think about the 7 (Little Dale)

what am i missing?
