Anyone having any luck playing Saratoga? As bad as I've been all year, I've gotten lucky at Saratoga with some nice winners in the first two weeks, but have not made as much as I should due to exacta losses. I've had a bunch of 8-1 shots win or place, but just can't hook up an exacta.
Of course, as soon as I start posting, I'll go cold. But I'm keeping a tally of key horses and a couple are running Friday and Saturday.
Friday's 4th race. Keep an eye out for Air Race. Last race on July 31 was a miserable trip under Mike Smith. Horse was full of run the entire stretch and never got clear. I figured the trainer must be furious with Smith and likely would pull him off the horse, which is what she did. Mike Luzzi rides with an outside post on Friday.
In Saturday's Vanderbilt, War Front is my pick. I had him at Belmont last time at 7-2 in the Tom Fool and he lost by a neck to Bc Sprint winner Silver Train. Looked like a winner all the way in the 7 furlong race. Cuts back to 6 furlongs here and there is a ton of speed to his inside. He's a fast horse as well, but has shown some rating ability, so hopefully Santos can keep him outside and make a move if the speed falters.
Any picks on the Arlington races?
