I'll take Luis Saez since it doesn't look like Cohen will get a license to ride

[moses]

I’ll throw a different name out and say Jose Lezcano.

He really impressed me this spring. The fact that he has 5 mounts on opening day makes me think that he's going to get opportunity in what is a very deep room.

Junior Alvarado.....easily.

After 40 races at Saratoga, some interesting numbers : Only 6 winners have paid $5.00 or less and as posted above, only 3 winnners at 9-1 or greater. 14 winners have paid between $5.00 and $10.00 with 17 winners in the $10.00 to $20.00 range.

Same choice here based on talent, but after four days and 1-for-19, I need to see if he has been on very many live mounts. Kendric Carmouche is also an option if the track turns speed favoring later in the meet.

With Joe Bravo (2 wins) and Ricardo Santana (3 wins) picking up mounts, jockeys like Dylan Davis are getting squeezed for quality rides.

By the way, Indigo Yankee should have been 30-1 against that field on Monday and was one of Jose Ortiz's three wins in his first 26 mounts. (He is only 7-for-26 in the money in the first four days!)

Ricardo Santana Jr.

I know he's starting to get a ton of live ones, but he still rides prices home.

My only problem with Santana is that he always loses when I bet him and always wins when I bet against him.

Hard to believe that we are 10 days (25%!) through the meeting and only 9 $20+ horses have clicked. Feels low, but the $10-$20 range has remained active.

Great to see Luis Saez at the top of the wins board - his aggressive riding style has been paying off against the clutch-and-grab set. The turf sprint win in the Coronation Cup on Monday was an excellent example. Also, have been very impressed with how well Ricardo Santana Jr. has been riding.
