Saratoga Race 2 today

[philcski]

A lot of people will focus on the Asmussen (Thats a Good Thing) in here, but I would suggest watching the replay of that race. Retriever battled for the early lead through pretty quick fractions and was bounced around pretty bad, then not perservered on in his career debut, while Thats a Good Thing enjoyed a perfect trip sitting just behind the speed duel. With two good works since and the blinkers coming off, I think Retriever is a good bet in here at the 6-1 ML. Going to play to win plus doubles of 2,6,7 with 1, whom I think has finally found a field she can beat in the 3rd (I expect the 3-1 ML to hold or even drift up there as the trainer has a grand total of 1 win on the year.)
