Saratoga Picks: Aug 24

RACE 1
WIN – Nothing overly exciting jumps off the page in the opener, but TEE WITH THE TIGER has run some good races going a distance, and stretches back out today. Narrowly missed in his career debut here last summer.
PLACE – BRIAN’S CAT CAN DO stacks up in here on speed figures, yet has had 10 chances at this level (more…)

RACE 1
WIN – RUM SQUALL broke his maiden over the jumps at this 19 furlong distance, and enters this on a three-race jump win streak, including a score over several of these here earlier in the meet.
PLACE – BABY LEAGUE dropped out to last early on, and although he made a menacing move turning for home (more…)

RACE 1
WIN – EDDIE C. finds a good time to make his first start since March of 2006 as Weaver was ice-cold over the first part of this meet, but recorded wins on both Sunday and Monday. Ran a career-best in his debut.
PLACE – HALF A NOTE tries turf for the first time, but is razor-sharp right now (more…)

PLACE – FORZA BRUTA has a bad habit of changing leads (more…)

RACE 1
WIN – Can’t go wrong siding with Mott and Desormeaux this meet, and they team with STAGE DREAM here. Seemed to lose focus once she struck the front earlier in this meet, and with a pair of strong works since, should continue to improve.
PLACE – STAR DIXIE outgamed the top choice (more…)

Saratoga Picks: Aug 18

RACE 1
WIN — On paper, NERVE just simply looks several lengths faster than the rest here. He chased Timber Reserve, who is considered possible for the Travers, in his last, and now takes a significant drop in class for Contessa. Should set up shop nicely from the outside stall.
PLACE — SPEEDBALL HOWIE would be no surprise to run big, first off the claim for Anthony Dutrow. (more…)
