The all stakes pick 3 is decent.

No way they let Commentator steal this one like he did last year. Race will def. set up for a closer.

Rachel would be even money in this field also.. If Jess would have elected to run her here instead of the Haskell, by some folks pretzel logic that would have made him and her connections, "Cherry Pickers" who are just managing a campaign in her best interest and not that of racing..

What does everyone think of The Test ?
My friend and I are having a huge disagreement. I like the Wolfson horse and Flashing... I think the pace could get hot, I think Cat Moves will show lots more speed with JV riding. First time out she went a 44 flat half, then was sent to Deleware to get some schooling. With her obvious natural speed I beleive she has to run with Heart Ashley. I think Heart Ashley is horrible but the track could carry her and I doubt JV lets her go. I think it sets up for Flashing sitting right off the pace and the Marty Wolfson horse coming from way out of it...

This piece is obviously a player, I like the stretch out to 7 furlongs. Last race she was full of run across the wire. She was playing with Light Green.Take the short price and key in picks. Johnny V up, go the window.

I would say this is one of the worst Saturday cards at Saratoga ever. And on Whitney day no less.

Sunday's card is teriffic though.

When Asiatic Boy scratched I decided to stay home.

I'll do the Pick 3 that starts with the 8th, singling Our Golden Dream(15-1 ml odds) with Flashing in the Test; both Commentator and Dry Martini in the Whitney

[letswastemoney]

So....is Commentator done? Another subpar performance...

[The Indomitable DrugS]

That was just a terrible field in the Whitney.

[NTamm1215]

If that wasn't a perfect indictment of the absolute travesty that is the handicap division then I don't know what is.

How subpar was it really? Sure he's not nearly the horse he was the last couple years but he set a solid contested pace again today and was the only one of those 3 around in the lane to duke it out with the closers. It's not as though he can't compete within this year's BAD handicap division evidenced by Bullsbay just winning a G1. Regardless this was the horse's main goal so he's probably done anyway.

[Bobby Fischer]

how much the best was Macho Again? Tough ride. I like Bullsbay so i don't really mind, but MA was best.

Macho has as much natural talent and stamina as a lot of these, he just hasn't had the super-trainer effect.

What's fallen off worse, the older male division in racing or the heavyweight division in boxing?
