Saratoga Two A Day

[Dahoss]

Day 24

I love the card today which means I’ll probably go 0 for 10

Best bet: Race 7- #4 Saint Tapit
This is the kind of horse I normally don’t like. He’s obviously very talented but his last few have been bad. He went to the sidelines after his last bad start in January and didn’t show up on the work tab until June so I assume something was amiss. I really liked his last two works. First he outworked Dreamlike who runs later in the card and then stakes horse Wit. I just think we see his good race today and he should be a fair price.

Longshot: Race 10- #7 Private Creed
Race should feature a fast pace. I can make excuses for his last two. He got involved way too late two back. Last time he found himself ay closer to the pace than normal. Around the turn he bobbled, costing him a few lengths and then he re-engaged and fought down the lane. This is the kind of horse that aRosario usually rides well and Asmussen has been on a roll with his turf sprinters. Hopefully he can pick them all up late

Saint Tapit was an awful pick. Private Creed ran much better but wasn't able to catch the Adam Rice horse, paying $12.40 to place.

Day 25

Best bet: Race 6- #8 Portage
She's looked like a totally different filly in Linda Rice's barn and her last was her best yet. I think she projects to sit a very nice trip outside the speed and Rice has strong numbers with horses who have won their last race coming back.

Longshot: Race 8- #4 Bernt Again
I wanted to go outside the box here in a race that I think will feature some chaos. She's been much improved this year, ran well last time and is drawn well. If Manny can stay inside and find a seem, I think she can be right there

Portage ran her race but was no match for a filly with a future, paying $4.20 to place. I got the ride and trip I wanted with Brent Again, but she’s just not as good as some of these but ran well for 3rd

Day 26

Best bet: Race 6- #10 King James
To me this is a case of this horse being much better than any of these other on dirt. Trainer is no bargain and I have no idea what the price will be, but he stands out to me.

Longshot: Race 4- #5 Western Ghent
Not necessarily a long shot per set but I think the price will be fair here and I like this horse a lot. If you look at his PPs you’ll see names like Two Phil’s, Extra Anejo and Slip Mahoney. He isn’t facing anywhere near that today. I think he’s been in way over his head class wise and I also think he’s a sprinter. He’s in the right spot today and should give a much better account of himself

Day 27

No time

Best bet: Race 9- #9 Wendell Fong
Longshot: Race 6- #5 Savage Spirit

The seconds are really piling up. King James got a ridiculous ride and rallied for 2nd paying $3.10 to place and Western Ghent ran a much improved race but was unable to hold off another Linda Rice horse paying $4 to place

Wendell Fong got a decent ride getting inside and moving up what I thought was a good rail, then Katie got off it for no reason and looked like the horse was swimming. Savage Spirit was nowhere
