8/2: Saratoga (Day 9; Shuvee); Del Mar ($151k DBL C/O)

[Kasept]

Another wild Saturday across the country and it gives rise to a Sunday that receives added boost from American Pharoah's return to action in the Haskell. Saratoga provided more ups and downs and is continuing to prove difficult to negotiate from a multi-race vantage. Have had some moments including a very good pop from the maiden 4th Saturday, but P4's are proving tricky having been beaten in the last leg for a 3rd time in the first 8 days of the meet. Del Mar has been very productive and Saturday's late P4 was a nice way to end the day. $151k two day C/O will be irresistible later. Hope everyone did well Saturday and are ready for another incredible day of racing. Untapable at Saratoga.. Haskell on NBC.. Free NTRA NHC Qualifier too..
