SARATOGA – 8/26/2020
| Race 2- | 1st #1 MUNNINGS MUSE | 2ND #6 IMPAZIBLE DONNA | 3RD #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- | 1st #2 QUIET DIGNITY | 2ND #1 WHATDOESASHARKSAY | 3RD #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- | 1st #1 KRUBERA | 2ND #2 DASH TO THE TOP | 3RD #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- | 1ST #3 CHECKSANDBALANCES | 2ND #9 KITTEN’S ROMANCE | 3RD #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- | 1st #3 ASSUME | 2ND #1 SHE’S A BLACK BELT | 3RD #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- | 1st #10 TURNED ASIDE | 2ND #1 BUY LAND AND SEE | 3RD #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- | 1ST #5 CATCH A BID | 2ND #3 CLARA PEETERS | 3RD #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- | 1ST #8 LET THEM EAT CAKE | 2ND #2 THRILL | 3RD #4 BASTET |
#8 LET THEM EAT CAKE rallied gamely last time out to snag the place dough and now goes 2nd off a layoff.
