That Pac Classic is no easy one. Hard to like Lava at a short price despite his record as he moves to this surface, but it takes a lot to bet against him when he towers over the field. The thinking is closers favor this surface, but there have been enough wire jobs this week to dismiss that somewhat.
Tiago doesn't get me excited going against the older horses either. Give me some Awesome Gem if he's near the 15-1. There look like several bombs could be a factor if Lava falters.

by the way, can anyone figure out why baffert decided to go with the forego for midnight lute instead of the o'brien?
i mean, yeah, the forego looks better on the resume, but i think he had about a 90% chance of winning the o'brien and not much of a chance in the forego at all. his last workout was a blistering 1:22 from the gate over the dmr poly. the fastest 7f race of the dmr meet? 123.2 by salute the sarge!

The Forego is a grade one at Saratoga. The O'Brien isn't. The Forego is run on a real track. The O'Brien isn't. Remember, that workout was during the morning, when the track is closer to being a real track. In the afternoons, it's junk. I wouldn't run a speed horse on it either. No way in hell would I be running Bordonaro here. He couldn't even last the distance of the last race and now he's supposed to last further on that stuff? Good luck. Midnight Lute will run them off their feet in the Forego.

in the O'Brien Include the two obvious horses, and then I think you have to toss Bordonaro from at least the exacta. I rank Publication and even Absolute Glory higher. The later is not a strong win candidate but merits use in exotics.

Tiago is scratched, Sherriffs hates the polytrack just as much as baffert.
