Tomorrow’s card is ridiculous. I started on it Tuesday and still don’t feel I’ve put enough into it. Good luck - it’s been a fun Saratoga meet so far. It’s challenging but the answers and prices are out there. |
I didn’t have the exacta but I did have the Pick 3 ending with your 9, which paid pretty well. $200+. I was hoping for the 11 as the payout would have been double that. But I won’t complain.
My picks for Saturday.
Race 8. #1 Cugino, 10/1. There are a handful of horses you could really make a case for here. The ML favorite #3 Johannes — I want no parts off coming off a long layoff into this field. I’m probably going to try to get some value out of this race. I really love #8 Deterministic and #4 Think Big and will use them in horizontals. Cugino is stepping back into the graded stakes realm. I liked his 4YO debut against some pretty solid horses and that should serve as a good prep for this race. Is he good enough? I’m not sure but I think he’ll be 10/1 or more and he looks to get a nice inside trip behind the speed.
Race 11. #10 Post Time, 12/1. We all expect this pace to be fast with Chad adding Contrary Thinking in a race that already features Mama’s Gold. But Sierra Leone just doesn’t win enough for me to bet at 2/1. I’m also not sure that it will soften Fierceness up as he’s become much better at not getting sucked into speed duels. But, expecting the pace does heat up, I want to give Post Time a shot at a big number. I expect to use Fierceness and Post Time in multis but I’ll be putting a win bet on Post Time if he’s 12/1.
