Saratoga Two A Day

[Dahoss]

Day 3
Best bet: Race 6- #3 Kosuke
Bond barn had one run well yesterday so expect them to start heating up as they usually do here. This one has overachieved in first two and got a big scratch with the 4 coming out. I hope Jaime Torres is aggressive because maybe can make the front and take them all the way.

Longshot: Race 3- #8 No Deli
Ran like a horse who needed one first out. Made a good run around the turn, flattened a bit but that can be expected behind who I think Is a good horse. Expect a much improved effort here

You might be on to something about the Bond barn getting hot. 45/1 horse almost took that 3rd race.

There are no moral wins in gambling but I felt good about my picks yesterday despite neither winning. The Bond barn is awake, with as Moses mentioning his longshot first timer just missing in the 3rd, where my pick No Deli ran a much improved race, finishing 5th, but losing by less than a length in a blanket finish. Kosuke made the front, but was no match and finished 3rd.

Day 4

Skull buster of a card, made even more difficult with the track.

Best bet: Race 6- #7 Dreamwithinadream
I think Hiles is very underrated as a trainer and IMO he came here on a mission. I know he was well beaten in his early races but look at who he was facing. There are no Kingsbarns in here. In fact, outside of Ringside who seemed like he was turf meant, no one has much dirt form. He ran much improved last time and I think he’s best here.

Longshot: Race 2- #1 Handle the Truth
Major stab here. It feels like there is some speed in here with the 3 and 5 and I think the 4 and 7 will be close. Her trainer Kerry Metivier doesn’t win much, but hes always one of the first trainers on the grounds since he lives local and always seems to pop with a horse at the meet. Her best fits here and I’m hoping she can pick them up late

Pretty sure Dreamwithinadream is still running. Handle the Truth was 3rd, albeit a well beaten 3rd at 42-1.

Day 5

Best bet: Race 7- #6 Golden Rocket
This overachiever came back last time with a nice race against stakes horses. She got a great ride that day and while she beat Runaway Rumour, that one did not look good the last 1/8. Even so, she won here last year and should get some pace to run at.

Longshot: Race 9- #1 Miss Domina
Should be a fair pace here, would like to see Jose drop back from the outside draw and make one run. She appears to be working well time wise since she's been here and is fresh.

Golden Rocket got a nice ride by Jose Gomez but was ultimately not good enough finishing 4th. Miss Domina was just a bad pick.

Day 6

Best bet: Race 3- #5 Highly Flammable
Race lost a little bit of its speed with the scratches but still should have plenty with the 6 and 8. I think Highly Flammable figures to drop into a nice trip behind the speed and will get first run. Was wide last out on a day when it seems like the rail was very strong.

Longshot: Race 4- #1 Mariah’s Fortune
This filly is 2 for 2 here and is not a turf horse. Gets back to dirt, could fall into a good spot inside behind the speed and thus is more of a play against some of the others who I don’t think are very good.

Couldn't help but revisit this comment in my mind watching the 2nd - hope you caught the tri.
