I couldn't bet Orb with counterfeit money.

Verrazano will crush this field with a repeat, but his last race came with a perfect trip over an extremely dull race track.

Palace Malice ran a fast time in the Jim Dandy, especially considering Caxia Eletronica's time at the same distance in Race 1 that day, but the track almost certainly became much faster. It really did look like one of those classic brutally tough figuremaking days that Saratoga is known for.

Transparent isn't impossible, but he will take a little more money than he should...especially with his pedigree and connections.

I just don't see the others being competitive enough.

So you figure the special efforts to heal Orb's pain aren't going to help make up 4 or 5 lengths?
