Commentator's last race is different from anything he has ever run. He ran slow early and finished fast. Even though he was on the lead, you can say he rated. If he can do that again, he crushes these.

I didn't mean I thought he would rate! I like Macho a lot in here. Smooth air might have something to say about that lead too.

Rachel would be even money in this field also.. If Jess would have elected to run her here instead of the Haskell, by some folks pretzel logic that would have made him and her connections, "Cherry Pickers" who are just managing a campaign in her best interest and not that of racing..

What does everyone think of The Test ?
My friend and I are having a huge disagreement. I like the Wolfson horse and Flashing... I think the pace could get hot, I think Cat Moves will show lots more speed with JV riding. First time out she went a 44 flat half, then was sent to Deleware to get some schooling. With her obvious natural speed I beleive she has to run with Heart Ashley. I think Heart Ashley is horrible but the track could carry her and I doubt JV lets her go. I think it sets up for Flashing sitting right off the pace and the Marty Wolfson horse coming from way out of it...

I would say this is one of the worst Saturday cards at Saratoga ever. And on Whitney day no less.

Sunday's card is teriffic though.

I'll do the Pick 3 that starts with the 8th, singling Our Golden Dream(15-1 ml odds) with Flashing in the Test; both Commentator and Dry Martini in the Whitney
