SARATOGA RACE COURSE


POST-SCRATCHES


1st: MSW 2yo-F, 7f (P3, DD)

Nothing should stop Kimono, the Pletcher side of the Coolmore entry, but Champagne d'Oro half sis Liberty Girl may be much more prepared for 2nd start underneath..

Most Likely: #1e Coolmore entry 3-5 WON/2nd ($2.40)
Best Value: #3 Liberty Girl 6-1 3rd (2nd for wagering)
Next Best: #5 Gamientos Girl 6th
Exotics Use: #6 Rainbow Dreams 10-1 4th (3rd for wagering)


2nd: NY-MSW, F&M-3+, 8.5f-T (P4, P3, DD)

Uggh.. There's about 8 fillies in here within a length or two of each other. Some way to start the P4. Smilin' Phil Serpe has won a hatful of races the last couple days and has had time to tinker with Always Home (12-1). Anything close to her June 2 try at Belmont will win this at a fat number. Johar Beauty (8-1) from Graham Motion may continue to progress after showing improvement in 2nd start while stretching out. Speaking of which, is it me, or has the Motion barn been unusually dull the last several months?

Best Value: #5 Always Home 12-1 7th
Next Best: #3 Johar Beauty 8-1 8th
Exotics Use: #4 Fast and Strong 5-2 2nd

5th: MSW, 2yo-F, 8.5f-T (P6, P3, DD)

Round up the usual suspects for this 2yo filly turf route. Note that Chad Brown sends Stonestreet Curlin miss J'esprit that's a half to Stormin Baghdad. Barbara Banke is 6 for 6 at the meet with 4 wins coming alone as Stonestreet and 2 in partnership with George Bolton..

Hi Steve,

Did you mean to single the 6 in the 3rd even though you picked him 4th?
