Chalk drawing blank thus far in Saratoga slop

Despite the fact leading trainers Chad Brown and Todd Pletcher captured the first two races on the card, post time favorites are winless through three over a sloppy track after Seam, the second choice at 2-1, captured the third race at 2-1 for trainer Ray Handal. Brown won the opener at a seemingly generous 4-1 while Pletcher's first time starter Gabriella splashed to victory in the second event, going postward 2-1 behind 3-2 favorite Dancingwithdaffodls.
The Pick-6 kicks off next with a carryover of nearly $70,000 from Sunday.
