![]() Nearly a $68k carryover for the pre-Travers Day card at the Spa after the odd couple of McGaughey and Aquillino scored 11-1 and 9-1 victories in the 9th and 7th respectively. Other than those two upsets, it was a numbingly chalky afternoon... Without wanting to rush things along too much, I do have to say that everything this week has seemed like a dull prequel to what lies ahead Saturday and Sunday here at Saratoga. And with Dee Tee's Ausable Chasm now signed on as part of the Personal Ensign undercard (2nd race), the weekend can't get here soon enough. The P6 is approached below, and it's part of a fun card that has several quirky twists. Hope you did OK Thursday and are ready for a tremendous weekend of racing including The Travers Day festivities, Rachel & Life at Ten, Pacific Classic Day at Del Mar, Juvenile Showcase at Calder and more!
SARATOGA RACE COURSE POST-SCRATCHES 1st: Charles Dowd-NY, 3+, 7f (P3, DD) Most Likely: #6 Driven by Success 1-1: Couldn't get lead in last.. WON ($2.50) Best Value: #1 Groomedforvictory 4-1: Cozy stalking trip under Ramon.. 2nd Exotics Use: #2 Uncle T Seven 5-1 4th Super Add: #4 SCR 2nd: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 7f (P4, P3, DD, Super) Very good 7/8ths ALW for Empire missys..

Best Value: #9 Erma Lee 5-1: Had eventful trip in bow.. 7th Next Best: #6 Tiz My Time 9-5: Tried Ascot Grp 3 and did OK.. 5th Exotics Use: #3 Queen Mars 15-1: Maker effective in lawn route debuts.. 8th Super Add: #8 Holidaysatthefarm 8-1 4th <$75 P4 Play: 2: 1-3-7 3: 3-5-6 4: 1-2-3-4 5: 6-9 3x3x4x2 = $72 6th: CLM/N1Y, 3+, 7f (G/S, P3, DD, Super) Challenging dozen.. Best Value: #11 Mr. Madison 8-1 6th Next Best: #2 Tall Poppi 9-2 4th Exotics Use: #8 Billy Bear 7-2 5th Super Add: #5 Stealth Missle 5-1 WON ($19.20) 7th: S/ALW, 3+, 8.5f-IT (P4, P3, DD, Super) Simply an eye-crossing assembly of equally talented turf routers that happen to starter eligible. Every entrant has recent ITM finishes that put them within reach of the winner's circle here. In addition, there is a perfect set of running styles signed on to ensure an honestly run race. Search for karma angles, include prices and spread in multis. No opinion will be silly here.. Best Value: #6 Versailles Road 12-1 2nd Next Best: #7 Upgrade 3-1 4th Exotics Use: #1 Too Big Too Fail 15-1 3rd Super Add: #9 Targhee Pass 8-1 8th 8th: CLM/N2L, 3+, 5.5f-T (P3, DD, Super) Oh super.. A turf sprint! And perfectly placed to destroy actual handicapping and multi-race wagering strategy!

Steve

![]() Steve, do you hate Get Stormy? Last time you did not pick him in your top 4, and now today Baletti? I think, once again Get Stormy is a total standout.

![]() It seems like everyone loves Baletti. I think Get Stormy probably gets it done, but I might back up w/ Sudden War.

![]() I hope Trickmeister comes in last so we don't have to hear IEAH talk about him again. Luck is he wins and they talk for 3 weeks about how he is going to the Super Derby to wire that field,only to enter in 4 horse race the day before

That's as remarkable a call as I've seen recently. That horse was nearly impossible to make... GREAT JOB!

![]() Thanks guys. I realize its after the fact, but I thought his last race was much better than what the form showed. Once he was finally done backing up from behind Mizzen's Wake, he closed decent into some soft fractions. Gomez looked like he was sitting on a ton of horse the whole race. Heady ride by Maragh today
