Saratoga Thursday

I've mostly looked at three races so far.

Race 5: Don't like any of the firsters. I guess some combo of the three non-Lukas horses that have run. Maybe that's chalky, but I'd have to think the firsters from the big name trainers have to get bet.

Race 7: I'm inclined to think this race should collapse, but I'd be a lot more confident about that if it were 7f at Belmont. Still, I like Philippe and Fastest Magician.

Race 9: Authenticity looks really good. . . I know the horse she beat last time is mediocre, but she overcame a glacial pace and had to come way wide in the stretch. You don't see horses close that much ground and run down an isolated leader like that, and I know Mott's horse was really green, but she was still moving pretty quickly in the lane.
