You can go so many different ways in this year's race and will get paid for being right.

haven't looked at the whole card but the early PK4 is a cluster F. 3 MSW and a state-bred turf they drew 16 horses. I say easy 4 figure payout if not 5, if i only knew which ones to pick though

and yes, the travers field has depth galore, should be a great race to watch

First Saratoga card of the year that will have me going to the windows with both fists. The Travers came up much better than I expected.

ToE ran well 2nd off a break earlier in the year after a less than impressive 1st off performance, so I don't think he is completely unthinkable here.
His last effort at the distance was decent, and while he doesn't seem a likely winner, I think he could easily hit the board, and could surprise.
The more I look at the race though, the more I like Mambo in Seattle on top.

Is it just me or does the early part of the card look very chalky ? I am totally against Tiz It, but races 1-2 look like chalk, 5th looks like chalk to me also.

Interesting pick 4, there are not too many horses to single with confidence.
