I just saw the replay, the start looked fair. Agree Paynter was a little flat-footed out of the gate.

Everything Baffert/Zayat/Lukas ran today was flat. Ship cross country for this?? Ugly.

Hopefully Alpha goes straight to the Breeder's Cup and takes a bunch of money now.

How much could he possibly take? Perfect storm of perfect post, blinkers on and Zayat horses not running a step today....

Congrats to Alpha and Kiaran on a big win...Looked like Bill was not happy with the loss via his reaction post-race on yesterday's NBC feed...

Don't want to "diss" Jude Feld who said that Alpha had absolutely no chance on HRRN Friday (have a lot of respect for the Pontiff of P6), but anything can and does happen at the SPA...One of the biggest handicapping angles over the years at Saratoga continues to be "horses for courses".....

I know he's not going to be the favorite or anything, but any dead $$ is a good thing. If this is the last line on his form, maybe he could sneak down to single digits?

I agree with you on this, he will take dead money and whatever Alpha takes will make him an underlay.
