he is glued to that rail. Same thing happened in the 6th race, his horse wanted to get out or was lugging out to the right and here he was yanking those reins and snatching the horse back to the rail.

I can't wait to see Chatain further along in the year. . . Should be a top contender for the Cigar and BC Mile. . .

How can Nobiz POSSIBLY be the fave here?!

Wrong hole Edgar, wrong hole, 1 horse was much the best

With a little racing luck Marcavelly would have won going away...but not to be...maybe next time.

In the 7th, Taint So with JV up closed a ton at the end.. may be worth a look next time out

he did have a troubled trip but Nobiz was 3 wide the entire way. Harty's horse is the bet back and will be great odds.

It doesn't matter with Nobiz being 3w, I am actually glad he won because Tagg will keep him on the turf now, unless this was a abnormal way of prepping for the Travers, so I can bet against him next time with both fists.

If Prado decides to swing wide, he zooms by NoBiz, probably wins by 1.5 lengths in hand.

Marcavelly has won races impressively but always off swell trips. On the inner at Saratoga, you take your chances on the hedge, especially off a slow pace when it's more likely than not you're going to get beat by a better trip horse. It's not easy to deep close on the inner there off a slow pace. If your horse had waited and swung wide, he probably would have been to far back to win as NoBiz closed in 11 2/5.
