SARATOGA RACE COURSE RESULTS 8/28
POST-SCRATCHES
1st: Mrs. Jeffords, F&M-4+, 19f-National Fences (P3, DD)
Jump season ends with a small group. Nothing clever to offer other than Brilliant Match potentially boosting exotics..
Most Likely: #2 Cat Feathers 9-5 2nd
Best Value: #5 Brilliant Match 8-1 WON ($8.40)
2nd: MCLM/$50k, 3+, 9f (P5, P3, DD)
Five class droppers are featured among this modest assembly that looks to have potential as a staggerfest. Looking for runners who will at least have fitness on their side..
Most Likely: #4 First Bid 5-2 WON ($6.10)
Next Best: #8 Fruit Ludt 3-1 4th
Best Value: #3 Identity Crisis 15-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #5 Aggrandizement 6-1 2nd
Super Add: #1e Ownership entry 5-1 6th/8th
3rd: NY-MSW, 2yo, 8.5f-T (P4, P3, DD)
More gaudy C. Brown ‘first out/turf route’ stats in tow as he sends pair (#2 Kerjillion/#5 Offering Plan) with Offering Plan having worked a bit better for bow. Foxhall Drive (3rd at 9-1!) has sibling strength as half to Relatively Ready, but 7-2 seems low. Jim Lawrence 2nd timer Cosmo Storm adds Lasix for appropriate move to lawn being by Cosmonaut..
Most Likely: #5 Offering Plan 6-1 WON ($10.00)
Next Best: #8 Come Around 5-2 4th
Best Value: #3 Cosmo Storm 8-1 7th
Exotics Use: #2 Kerjillion 2-1 2nd
4th: NY-OC/C, 3+, 9f (P3, DD)
C. Baker has struggled at the meet, but it feels like there are more than enough front end types involved here to give The Brothers Rap an honest target to attack in 2nd start off the layoff (26%)..
Best Value: #5 The Brothers Rap 4-1 WON ($11.80)
Next Best: #3 Saturday Appeal 3-1 5th
Exotics Use: #2 Onecat’s Chance 5-2 3rd
Super Add: #1 Writingonthewall 7-2 2nd
5th: 10th With Anticipation (G3), 2yo, 8.5f-T (P6, P3, DD)
Tough to argue against obvious types from Motion (Strong Coffee/Hot Tin Roof), Brown (Startup Nation), Pletcher (Designed for War) and Maker (International Star), but there won’t be a more physically imposing colt in the paddock for this than Chris Van Culin’s Nutty Futty (10-1). Modest Johar purchase was bred by Doc Chandler out of ’99 Senorita winner Coracle and though a May foal, looks like a 3yo. Mellon Course should suit his long, loping style..
Best Value: #5 Nutty Futty 10-1 3rd
Next Best: #1 Startup Nation 5-1 WON ($6.50)
Exotics Use: #2 Hot Tin Roof 6-1 6th
Super Add: #9 Strong Coffee 3-1 4th
6th: CLM/N2L, 3+, 9f (G/S, P3, DD)
Very tricky bottom level N2L. Maximus Mike and Birds Gone Wild take the biggest drops and are the 4th and 5th choices respectively. Decarlo could simply take them all the way around on Maximus Mike..
Most Likely: #1 Maximus Mike 5-1 3rd
Best Value: #8 Birds Gone Wild 8-1 6th
Next Best: #2 The Candidate 3-1 4th
Exotics Use: #3 Grandpa Len 5-2 2nd
Super Add: #4 Successful Brothers 7-2 WON ($10.00)

Amazing Anne, full to turf routing Deciphering Dreams and Jung Man Scott, goes long on grass for Morley in 2nd start. Alvarado a plus. Any of the other 2nd time starters — Momma Giovanna, Smiling Sundae, Moondance Joy and Battle Axe — wouldn’t surprise. Firster Jules N Rome has hinted at ability for Schettino..
