SARATOGA


POST-SCRATCHES


1st: A. P. Smithwick (NSW-G1), 4+, 19f-National Fences (P3, DD)

CANCELLED


2nd: MSW, F&M-3+, 9f (P5, P3, DD)


Quirky 6-pack of decent enough, well connected fillies looking to graduate at 9f. They're all a little ploddy, so if you can determine who gets to the point, you probably found the wire to wire winner. Save Time has yet to go backwards and keeps earning better figs with added distance. Hate accepting fave from indecipherable group, but she appears to still have upside..

Delighted to shift to Wednesday's biggest price winner ($20.80) after off/turf scuttled the original Depaula Play of the Day.. $691 into the bankroll on 3rd "POD", so +$391 for Capital OTB players in the early going..
