Default How good is tomorrow's Test?

This may be top 3 betting races of all time in my opinion. Its like a Kentucky Derby when it comes to "value". The favorite may go to post here at 5/1 or 6/1.

Best race I have seen outside of a BC or KD type. 15 horses trying to win a 7F race. Have to like Hello Liberty though considering what she did with Bushfire.

I would agree that Hello Liberty is a big threat in here... I sort of like Ready to Please and Sabatini to come up as well.

I love the fact that Mario Pino is getting a shot here. Big rider down in Maryland racing, gets a shot up at 'Toga. Awesome stuff. Hope he pulls it off.

Man, now this is a field for a Graded Race. Man, I love it. Not only do you have 15 horses, you have some of the best horses at this level competing. Great betting race. Prob will get 4-1 on the fav. Man, that is just awesome in my opinion. Kudos to Saratoga for giving us such a great race.

Well I should say there is going to be 14 going to post. Either Sabatini or Wild Fit is going to scratch. It all depends on the conditions of the track. I love Capotes Crown in this spot.

I'll be including Win McCool on my Pick 4's. I think that she'll be setting the pace and maybe can hang on. Lost by just a neck to likely Fav (IMO), hello Liberty @7F, and has a spa win.

At 20-1 ML should be playable!

Swap Fliparoo looks interesting too....

She won't be 20-1, but she is live. I see another ML with her at 8-1, which is more likely. I might use her too.

This one is a rare treat for us. What a line-up top to bottom!

My inital impression is that the field is loaded with front end speed and not that many closers. Hello Liberty would seem to be a threat coming from just off the front end. I'm also thinking that it might set up well for someone like Joint Effort or Swap Fliperoo. I like Joint Effort more but Swap Fliperoo is just always so game in the stretch.

I always put some money on any Capote filly that's shown any type of brilliance. It rarely fails me.

I make her value line at about 8-1. I find that ML odds are as important as off odds in "downstream" P4 legs, so maybe that's where the value is.

You can tell the connections of so many good mares are eager for a sporting match up here. This will be a rare treat. And the prize ia a big one, of course. A coveted G1 win.
