SARATOGA RACE COURSE
POST-SCRATCHES
1st: MSW, 2yo, 8.5f-T (P5, P3, DD)
Opening note is that all the AE’s demand attention should any draw in, especially C. Brown’s Royal Squeeze. Epsilon (Desert Party) a half to Alpha, though relation to turf router Lavender Sky as appropriate as any sibling strength tie-in. Will protect on favorite Firespike WON ($5.30), but think he’s the type that will be leapfrogged by new faces..
Most Likely #7 Epsilon 5-1 7th
Best Value: #1 Congrats to Ken 6-1 2nd
Next Best: #8 Tapkee 7-2 3rd
Exotics Use: #5 Sierra Delta 15-1 10th
2nd: MSW, 2yo, 7f (P4, P3, DD)
From famed Steinbrenner racemare Dream Supreme by Md’O, Gold Shield a $1,000,000 Farish purchase that Kinsman bought back into as partner. Half to Majestic Warrior working at Fair Hill, so you don’t get Clocker Report insight, but Shug regularly live in 7f debuts. 5-1 ML, so watch board for additional clues. Da Jenius was moving well late in 5.5f debut behind sharp Requite..
Best Value: #6 Gold Shield 5-1 7th
Next Best: #4 Two Weeks Off 5-2 WON ($5.90)
Exotics Use: #1 Da Jenius 4-1 3rd

Exotics Use: #3 Set the Sail 6-1 WON-on DQ ($18.80)
Super Add: #6 Marine Patrol 7-2 5th
4th: MSW, 2yo, 7f (P3, DD)
Zayat-Terranova El Kabeir adds Lasix for 2nd start which came in well rated 8/14 heat that produced Blofeld; Kick Off (Bernardini) is FTS out of fast MGSW Game Face that has worked sharply; Royal Son returns for 2nd start after highly contentious debut that produced Pride of Stride; Butchy Reid brings Bird Barrage to NY off Philly debut 3rd which says he expects win early type to improve here..
Most Likely: #5 El Kabeir 5-2 WON ($7.50)
Next Best: #7 Royal Son 9-5 2nd
Best Value: #3 Kick Off 6-1 5th
Exotics Use: #9 Birdie Barrage 12-1 8th
5th: 56th Bernard Baruch (G2), 3+, 8.5f-IT (P3, DD)
Spot like this is where you’re supposed to try and beat a horse like Wise Dan due to illness and fact that he’s giving away 8-13#’s to the field. I’m not going try, but you’re supposed to..

Challenging group with so many making 2nd starts and/or switching surface. Shift Colors, after Set the Sail and Wise Dan, could make it a big day for LoPresti. Mott 2nd timer Colorful got on track late in debut and worked well out of it. Maggie Bryant had a big day last Saturday running 1-2 in the Travers and she’s got every chance here with Hope Cross from C. Brown. Chad also sends a seemingly live firster in Justice’s Love and Marriage..
Best Value: #9 Shift Colors 8-1 7th

8th: 67th Prioress (G2), 3yo-F, 6f (P3, DD)
Quirky group as almost all have similar near-lead running style. As Nick Tammaro explained Friday on ATR, Stonetastic likely offers the most versatility for assignment today, but not one of these would surprise as a photo subject..
Best Value: #2 Stonetastic 6-1 WON ($13.00)

10th: 35th Forego (G1), 3+, 7f (P3, DD)
Clearly Now gets his opportunity for G1 win and obviously is best on paper, but has reacted to big tries in the past and last was huge effort..
Most Likely: #8 Clearly Now 7-5 8th
Next Best: #6 Palace 3-1 WON ($10.60)
Best Value: #10 Confrontation 10-1 9th
Exotics Use: #2 Big Business 15-1 2nd
11th: 61st Woodward (G1), 3+, 9f (DD)
Can see Moreno/Itsmyluckyday 1-2 all the way around or possibility of the pair at each others’ throats immediately. Is this the sport that one or the other of the Godolphin pair (Long River/Romansh) get over the top? Maybe. They’ll get trips that put them in position to pounce. Chad Brown pair (Zivo/Last Gunfighter) have their merits. Interesting jockey moves for this include Castellano — formerly on Last Gunfighter who gets Bravo back — going to Norumbega with Rosario — Norumbega’s recent regular — to Stephanoatsee after Lezcano sticks with Zivo..
