7/21: Saratoga ($60k C/O; CCA Oaks)
Fun opening day at the Spa with a big crowd and the predictably festive atmosphere. Had a few mundane bingos but missed the best scores with Roy Lerman producing a $75 winner in Presumptive and $500-$700 P4's missed when my 3 live nightcap runners ran 4th, 5th and 7th in the nightcap. $60k carryover for meet's first Saturday!

Any combination of 4 out of the 12 could turn out, so don't be afraid to fire away with your own nutty ideas.. Best Value: #2 Trainingforsuccess 10-1 11th Next Best: #12 Sam's Buck 7-2 WON ($11.20) Exotics Use: #5 Mr Algebra 6-1 9th Super Add: #3 Call Up the Chief 20-1 3rd 5th: CLM, 3+, 6f (P3, DD) Nonno's Boy, when right, has races that beat these.

If this were a California P6 carryover, the big players would hit the 'all' button because even Yara -- as endorsed by Ed DeRosa on ATR Weekend Preview -- doesn't look impossible.. Most Likely: #5 Zo Impressive 2-1 2nd Next Best: #1 Questing 3-1 WON ($9.80) Best Value: #4 Funny Proposition 8-1 5th Exotics Use: #6 In Lingerie 5-2 3rd 11th: MDN CLM, F&M-3+, 5.5f Look..
