Another shutout as Quantitativbreezin did not run particularly well and New York Supreme took the lead around the turn but faded down the stretch to finish 3rd.
Friday, July 23
Best Bet: Race 5 - #3 Gailhorsewind, 7/2 ML (Rice/Lezcano) What first caught my eye about this horse is that she would have had to run the final furlong of the race two back in about 10 seconds flat, if the past performances are accurate. I don't think they are but I went back and watched that race and regardless of the time, she really kicks it into gear in the stretch. She is about 3 lengths behind Tuscan Queen at the 1/8 pole and she finishes about a length and a half ahead of her. I don't know if we'll get 7/2 on her but that was an impressive move and I'll forgive her for last time out as Heman Harkie was aboard.
Best Value: Race 9 - #7 Tobys Heart, 10/1 ML (Lynch/Castellano) I'm not sure if Tobys Heart is a turf miler or not (her best races have come in sprints) but she finished very gamely last time out after a bump at the start and making a big move around turn and she didn't get the best of pace setups that day. With Jouster and Navratilova both in here, I'm expecting a quicker pace and that should set things up nicely for Tobys Heart as well as some of the other closers. Maybe I'm crazy to go against not only Chad Brown but FOUR of his horses...but Chad also only has 2 wins in 19 starts so far at Saratoga.
Tally
Wagered: $16.00
