I do like a layoff horse in the race...Honour Devil. He will be one of KMc's 2 wins on the day.

Last year the race was run at 6f why is it 7 this year?.. Why has this horse only run 7 times

A guy from Brooklyn posted this on startinggate: "James Marvin was the Mgr of the United States Hotel on Broadway in Saratoga Springs back in 1807. He was the only local to serve as the President of Saratoga Race Course."

Maybe 1907? It only took 100 years to get him his name in lights...

The Dunce Cap would have been more appealing

I am predicting at least 3 scratches in the Marvin. HG has a negative trainer change.

This is just a prep for him anyway..If he wins I would be very surprised..If he wins he may be pretty darn special and a welcomed sight in the Handicap division. De Kock has a huge rep huh?

Aegean with Castanon on, rather than JV is interesting. Tough race though.

The NYRA site says he was born in 1807. Another site says he was born in 1809, and started managing the hotel in 1830.

If I owned a track, I'd name stakes after has-been actors and actresses. "Today's Gary Coleman Handicap will be run at two-furlongs. The winner of tomorrow's Mr. T Handicap will receive a gold chain."

I never bought into the story a few years ago that Mr. T was selling his trademark jewelry because he wanted to change his image. Only a fool would think the fire sale had nothing to do with the high price of gold and Mr. T's lack of acting opportunities.
