8/13: Saratoga (Day 14; $52k C/O)

[lemoncrush]

Making the late PK 4 my only mid-week play this week. Been looking over the PPs the past few days. I may end up using Ticketmaker on DRF to break this ticket down to smaller tickets, as it's a pretty competitive 4 races.

Pre-scratches Selections

Race 7 Shadwell firster Hatheer looks ready to face maiden group, most which look to want much more ground than 5-1/2 F. Main rival could be More than Ready filly Ready to Party, as trainer excells at turf sprints.
8 - Hatheer (3-1)
9 - Crimson Glory (7-2) SCR
2 - Ready to Party (8-1)
3 - Smart Seattle (10-1)

Race 8 Frankel filly has distinct class edge on these, but 6F may be too short against this group. Alan Garcia has been aboard all 3 career wins for Tar Heel Mom, and returns to ride her today
6 - Turn Away (2-1)
2 - Choragus (5-2)
5 - Tar Heel Mom (7-2)

Race 9 Tagg filly Wild Awake should be able to handle this group after 4 straight 2nd place finishes.
4 - Wild Awake (5-2)
8 - Sezzana (4-1)
7 - Mother Russia (3-1)
2 - E's Mia (10-1)

Race 10 Lots of question marks, lots of pace, and a very vulernable M/L favorite in Hangingonaprayer. Lots to like on Catty Madeline and J. Leparoux. World Gone Wrong could offer great value with a hot rider jumping on.
9 - Catty Madeline (5-1) Best bet
4 - World Gone Wrong (6-1)
2 - Hanging on a Prayer (3-1)
7 - My Anna Rose (8-1)
12 - Linsalata (7-2)

Pick 4 (post scratches)
7 - 2,8
8 - 5,6
9 - 4,7,8
10 - 2,4,6,9
