Saratoga

BEST BET : R4 – Md 50k

#1 Borsa Vento (7-2) – This is the class relief he needs and his best race came at 7 panels. Doesn’t hurt he’s been firing bullets in the mornings.

LIVE LONGSHOT: R8 – NYB Alw 75k/N1X

#3 Passporttovictory (12-1) – I know the figs don’t look great, but she’s the only one with a win here and Castellano returns.

Wagered $104.00 – Cashed $122.30 = $18.30

R6 – NYB MSW 73k

#10 Collective Effort (3-1) – Expecting another forward placement and three times a charm.
#2 Barely Impazible (7-2) – Expensive purchase for top connections looks well meant at first asking.
#3 Unbridled Charge (6-1) – Showed brief speed before tiring and should be tighter today.
#6 Raging Fire (6-1) – Decent debut on a good sealed track and like the fact he fought back to get the show dough.

R7 – OC 62k/N2X

#1 Malibu Stacy (6-1) – Capable of finding that sharp form from last year with the addition of Lasix and 3rd off bench.
#3 Improv (9-2) – Has flashed early zip and the cut back makes a ton of sense.
#4 Annie Rocks (8-5) – Likes to win and Turf/Dirt angle might find her in the winner’s circle again.
#5 Nonna Mela (7-2) – Last seen in the G1 Frizzette, but has the look that she’ll need a spin before showing her best.

R8 – NYB Alw 75k/N1X
#3 Passporttovictory (12-1) – LIVE LONGSHOT – I know the figs don’t look great, but she’s the only one with a win here and Castellano returns.
#2 Verdant Pastures (12-1) – Deserves a long layoff look off some nice local works with a barn that knows how to win at the Spa.
#8 Decorator Jim (5-1) – Versatile filly always fires and must to considered for all slots.
#9 Never Hungover (5-1) – Eligible to wake up taking on State Breds today.

R9 – NYB MSW 73k (Turf 8.5F)

#3 Photographer (8-1) – Should appreciate going a route for a notorious strong turf outfit.
#9 Dream Passage (7-2) – Displayed some talent when only beaten less than a length last fall and returns for a high % layoff conditioner.
#8 La Moneda (15-1) – Barn not known for having them ready 1st time out, but this barn is having a heck of year. Castellano hops aboard.
#12 Piquet (4-1) – Has been caught wide in all three career races and now must deal with the parking lot draw. Your call.

PK4 – 2 3 10 / 1 3 / 2 3 5 7 8 9 / 3 9 = $36 for $.50

Good Racing Luck
