Saratoga Two a Day

[Dahoss]

Day 40

Last day of what has been a very enjoyable and profitable meet. I'm always reminded that this is the best game in the world because while luck plays a small part, you truly do get out what you put in.

Best bet: Race 10- Cocktail Moments
I flirted with putting Cupid's Heart here in the last. I've been waiting a long time for her return off a ride I wasn't crazy about last time and I think she's very good, but I think she'll be too short oddswise. I went with Cocktail Moments in the 10th. Looks like Junior (or his agent) had a choice here and ends up here. This is a talented filly who was dull last time but got a little break and has been working well in preparation for this. Is drawn well, figures to sit a good trip and will be a handful in the lane

Longshot: Race 6- #3 I'm Fine
I prefer her on grass, but if the race gets moved off she's not bad on dirt, so I will keep her here dirt or turf. Sat a decent trip last time but then had big trouble early stretch. Appeared to have run and a tiring horse backed up right into her. She checked hard and tried to get around, losing all momentum. Freshened since then, prior turf form fits and she should be every bit of the ML if not higher
