Saratoga Friday Aug. 18th

[Kitan]

Race 1:
#13 Jcs American Dream
#9 Tiz a Kitten

Race 2:
#1 Special Jo: Diodoro has not had a good meet by his standards, but in dirt sprints off the claim he is 4: 1-2-1 so far. This one has the speed edge.
#6 Saltine Warrior: JCE hits at a high clip when plunging like this.
#7 Tug of War: 8yo much improved since switching to Rudy.

Race 3:
#4 Marriage Fever
#11 Taoiseach
#8 Silver Dagger

Race 4:
#2 Nuclear Option
#7 El Dulce
#4 Joopster

Race 5:
#1 Under Suspicion: Sire not popular but won with two of his three debuters last season. Dam was a SW at 2yo. Has been working well and barn has won with 2yos at SAR previously.
#2 Missbigtimes: Took money on debut but was slow to get going. Was the only runner from the back to make up any sort of ground and spaced the fourth place runner.
#6 Droselmeyr's Smile: Has quality on the bottom and should handle the muddy surface.
#8 Tayler's the Boss

Race 6:
#9 Caviar Czar
#5 Cruz Diez
#2 Escape Velocity

Race 7:
#5 Special Intention: $500k yearling sports multiple fast dirt works and picks up Castellano. Wonder if the turf debut was to just give him a run.
#8 Malibu Action
#2 Distorted Admiral

Race 8:
#4 Captain Moss: Hasn't run poorly on the dirt previously and is worth a shot here.
#3 Luna de Loco
#6 Alex the Terror

Race 9:
#1 My Sweet Stella: Stormed home in a 6f stakes in her last sprint try. Speed may be hot here.
#5 Appealing Maggie: If she breaks clean she's fast enough to be the speed of the speed.
#8 Louisville First

Race 10:
As Steve would say, treacherous finale...
