Saratoga Two A Day

[Dahoss]

Day 35

6 days left of what has been a long and challenging meet. More rain means off the turf today.

Best bet: Race 6- #5 First Deputy
You could go lots of different ways in this race. He got a race over the track and is going first off claim for Diprima who has had a slow meet but is crafty. Has handled wet tracks before. Should get some pace to run in to and I think he fits really well here.

Longshot: Race 8- #9 Pretti Xtreme
I have an issue with the contenders here, so I’ve landed on Pretti Xtreme. Movie Moxy was a vet scratch earlier and hasn’t run well here. Tough Street ran well last time but this is another step up. Signal From Noise was bad last time at 1/5 so why would I want her this time? Leave No Trace was bad last time and comes out of the worst BC Juvy Filly race ever. Olga Isabel has some upside but these are better horses and Tizzy in the Sky has upside but figures to get bet. I’ll take my shot with Pretti Xtreme who ran very well here last time. I don’t usually love horses moving away from Cox but Falcone has good numbers off the claim and this one has kept good company. Drawn outside other speed, hopefully Rosario doesn’t **** it up
