I noted that Tiz the Law earned a 109 Beyer for his performance, and Gamin got a 108 for her dominating 7f blowout. I had thought that Art Collector ran a visually impressive performance at Ellis on Sunday, but perhaps he didn't beat much and only earned a 100 Beyer. If Gamin can stretch her speed to 1 1/8 miles, the Oaks/Derby double might have a very tiny payout.

By the way, a factor weighting in Saratoga's favor is the continued good TV coverage offered by Fox Sports 1 and/or 2 for those whose cable package includes it. So much more enjoyable than TVG.
