Saratoga Picks: Sept 3

RACE 1
WIN – Claimers that have not won two races lifetime kick off the Labor Day card, and should be a welcome level of competition for YES IT’S THE TRUTH, who has faced some decent quality out of town this season.
PLACE – ROYAL ELECTRICIAN was scratched from a spot here on Aug. 24 in which he had drawn the rail. Gets outside this time and the services of Kent D. (more…)

Saratoga Picks: Sept 2

RACE 1
WIN – Taking a shot against the favorite here as BODGIT’S JEWEL returns from a layoff for Bond. Lone try on turf was her lone career win, and recent works have been strong.

PLACE – AHVEE’S DESTINY scored in her latest sprinting here, and will be a major player once again for Rice (more…)

PLACE – DELTA PARK was favored versus a similar group on Aug. 13, (more…)

Saratoga Picks: Aug 29

RACE 1
WIN – Up and over to begin the final week. DARK EQUATION seems the class of this group, and exits a second-place finish in the Flatterer at Philly Park. Has beaten several of these in recent starts.
PLACE – Voss has been relatively quiet, although he won last weeks jump race with Planets Aligned. DYNAWAY was a decent third here 10 days ago (more…)
