Saratoga Race 8 - Financial Modeling and Unbridled Juan look like the horses to beat. Unbridled got the better of Financial in their last outing beating him out by just a half length to finish 2nd. Going to include Dekalb County in some exotics as the Pletcher - Velazquez combo is no joke. Live long shot - Indian Brut.

Saratoga The Union Avenue - Willet looks to be the clear cut favorite. With Rosario aboard, Willet has not finished worse than 3rd. He's had great workouts over the last month, including a fast 5f at Belmont two weeks ago (posted fastest time that day). Field gets a little more interesting after this. I really like Tricky Zippy coming off of two first place finishes but breaking out of the 10 post can be difficult. Expect him to try to make a quick move to the front. Other than a tough outing in May, this horse has not been worse than 4th throughout the duration of any given race. Make the Moment will also contend for an early lead as Ortiz will look to utilize the speed.This is the right distance for Atlantic's smile who could also make some noise as a long shot (14-1).
