What I find disturbing is the entries by 3 very reputable trainers. Maybe this would explain their low win percentages at Saratoga.

Upstart hasnt surpassed his figure (Funny Cide Stakes) as a two year old yet. He is sitting on a big performance. I can see him as the upset and his recent works look wickedly good. Tall task to beat AP but I say he can get it done.

Triple Crown winner, biggest race of the summer, and no way to watch it? Really.

Tip of the hat if you hit. I think Upstart is the most overrated 3-year-old in the crop. The New York people tend to hold onto their horses like Grimm death.

And that's how you run a horse race. Think you have the "better" horse then ride him as such and don't let the "champ" get it easy as per usual.
