You know I started this thread and have not changed my mind, but, there are some good races. You may think differently but tomorrow's 6th race is what I like about Saratoga. Yes, it's a 35000 claiming race, but on the turf with horses coming off 6 different tracks. Some old ones coming down, some new ones coming up, and a puzzle that if you can figure out has tremendous value.

I agree. Tomorrow's card is quite intriguing. The meet's 2nd half will be pretty great. So many big stakes to look forward to and the weather just has to be better.

I'd agree if there weren't five two-year-old races. The other half of the card is solid. Thursday's card looks good, though I've only glanced at it.

So assuming Music Note and Little Belle are coupled again could we see an Alabama with only two betting interests? With the Hathorn carded the next day it is tough to imagine anyone running for fourth.

At least Acoma, Sky Mom, and Sweet Vendetta aren't eligible for the Hathorn so there is hope for an exciting 3 betting interest race.

Acoma was second in the Monmouth Oaks last weekend so don't expect her this weekend.

And Sky Mom ran on the 2nd in Chicago so would seem extremely doubtful. If Sweet Vendetta passes we could really end up with two betting interests.
