Double carry, but $262k in the kitty is all that really matters.

6th: NYB-MSW, 3+, 6f (P6, P3, DD)

Start of carryover, and hard to accept that there isn't a first timer here that will be better than the obvious ones coming out of several races against each other. Even 30-1 Pappy's Double H (#7) may be OK and worth a glance after losing all chance early in his 7/11 debut that produced Hot Minute (4-5 fave in today's 3rd), and next out at Spa demolisher Al's Deputy (Schosberg). Other interesting numbers include #5 Marsh Haven (8-1), luring Ramon Dominguez who rarely rides for capable Charlton Baker, and bulleting #10 Saginaw (6-1) from Seth Benzel who has a plus ROI ($2.18) with firsters. Very tricky start to the P6...

Best Value: #5 Marsh Haven 8-1
Most Likely: #6 African Knight 5-2
Next Best: #1e Levine entry 12-1
Exotics Use: #7 Pappy's Double H 30-1

The key to the race was the 1,2 finishers ran Aug 2nd. The only two that have. This angle has been doing very well at the Spa.
Saginaw is trained by Chad brown, Not Seth Benzel, not that it mattered.
