Nick Tammaro

SARATOGA – 8/26/2020

Race 2-

1^st #1 MUNNINGS MUSE

2^ND #6 IMPAZIBLE DONNA

3^RD #3 BANKERS DAUGHTER.

#1 MUNNINGS MUSE is the one to catch from the inside off the break. Leading pilot is aboard and she gets first time Lasix.

Race 3-

1^st #2 QUIET DIGNITY

2^ND #1 WHATDOESASHARKSAY

3^RD #4 CAP DE CREUS

#2 QUIET DIGNITY takes a big drop in class off a poor effort against G3 foes. Second place finish going long for Chad Brown indicates she is capable at the marathon trip.

Race 4-

1^st #1 KRUBERA

2^ND #2 DASH TO THE TOP

3^RD #3 TIZ SPLENDID NEWS

#1 KRUBERA showed speed after a poor break on debut and likely needed that race. Aggressive pilot aboard in a race loaded with question marks.

Race 5-

1^ST #3 CHECKSANDBALANCES

2^ND #9 KITTEN’S ROMANCE

3^RD #1 CHEROKEE SONG

#3 CHECKSANDBALANCES made up ground in a race almost completely dominated on the front end and should improve with that race behind her.

Race 6-

1^st #3 ASSUME

2^ND #1 SHE’S A BLACK BELT

3^RD #7 CLASSY SADIE

#3 ASSUME was claimed off a handy maiden win and has been spotted realistically for her first try against winners.

Race 7-

1^st #10 TURNED ASIDE

2^ND #1 BUY LAND AND SEE

3^RD #8 MAVEN

#10 TURNED ASIDE looks as if he has improved as a 3YO and is drawn favorably on the outside to stalk and pounce.

Race 8-

1^ST #5 CATCH A BID

2^ND #3 CLARA PEETERS

3^RD #4 BLOWOUT

#5 CATCH A BID was too close to the pace last time out and tired but can be effective rating a bit farther off the pace today. Jockey who rode her to Riskaverse win a year ago is back aboard.

Race 9-

1^ST #8 LET THEM EAT CAKE

2^ND #2 THRILL

3^RD #4 BASTET

#8 LET THEM EAT CAKE rallied gamely last time out to snag the place dough and now goes 2^nd off a layoff.
