saratoga
R1 #6 congrats for glory (8-1)
just intrigued that saez would take the mount on a firster who shows me little with works, pedigree or trainer strengths
R2 ??
R3 #5 french reef (4-5)
could see a minus show pool here.. scheduled for turf.. single horizontals
R4 #2 chief know it all (15-1)
first of let me say I asked str a question regarding #1.. been following his whole career since the maiden breaker 3 years ago.. hate going against him but think he'll be an underlay and that's what matters.. prior to his (mine) last race he had won four straight 2 turn routes including the initial one here.. last race was at belmont (1 turn route)..prior to that saratoga win he came off a 1 turn route at churchill and a similar layoff (just like today) taking a positive step up and with this bad (understatement) trainer who claimed him 2 back he'll probably be a solid price
R5 #3 sifting sands (5-2)
2yo msw turf route.. first time starter for chad brown.. with all the expensive big pedigree 2yo's that run here imo this is the biggest one of them all
R6 #7 shenandoah river (5-1) 40
R6 #4 central exit (3-1) half hedge
R7 #4 assiduously (4-1)
the other chad in this race.. he also has #7 lonesome fugitive (8-5)..mine irad the other jose.. mine showed speed and held pretty well to finish 3rd going 1 1/8 (turf) with first time blinkers.. cuts back a furlong today which can only help.. other is a slow breaker and gets blinkers first time today..could see more speed from him
