Saratoga

The weatherman calls for 79 degrees, and a 30% chance of rain.

 

Race #2 – Mdn Sp Wt – 6f – 1:30 p.m. ET=

#2 – Stormy Henry (4-1) =John Velasquez takes over for trainer Michael Trombetta. The trainer notes may be all you need to follow: – Adds blinkers / wins 25%, Beaten favorite / wins 26%, and ships in from Parx / wins 20%. Add the services of Mr. Saratoga in the saddle, and he should be major player in here.

 

Race #5 –  Mdn Sp Wt – 1 1/16 on the turf – 3:03 p.m. ET

#1 – Raven Rise (5-1) = Junior Alvarado in the irons for John Kimmel. They are winning 29% the last month together, and her lone turf effort was a comprised trip. She closed nicely, but left plenty of gas in the tank. I like that she is drawing the rail, and last out she had the #9 post. She is bred to like the green, and I like the price in here.

 

Race#7 – Mdn Sp Wt – 6f – 4:07 p.m. ET

#3 – Dunkin Bend (5-2) = Joel Rosario in the saddle for Steve Asmussen. This is his second start after shipping in from Churchill. He has been working a regular clip in the mornings, and the barn scores at a 22% win clip with second starters. Rosario is a plus, and it is very tough to overlook these powerhouse connections.

 

Race#10 – The G-1 Whitney Invitational – 1 1/8 – 5:45 p.m. ET

#5 – Ron the Greek (6-1) = Jose Lezcano gets the nod for Bill Mott. With all of the potential early runners in this race, I am looking for a horse to come off the pace. “Ron” is 2/2 ITM at Saratoga, and is 10 /12 ITM at the distance. He has been away for 49 days, and fires fresh off the shelf. I like his regular work tab, and Mr. Lezcano fits him like a glove. You will know at the half if he has a chance. If they turn anything in the high 47’s, it will be lights out down the lane.

 

This is a little something to whet your appetite, and always defer to what the E-Z Win Forms have to say. They are chock full of information, and take all factors into account. If Mother Nature turns on a dime, there are no worries. Winning Ponies has a function that allows you to change up for any track changes, and you can get a brand new set of E-Z Win Forms by “clicking” the track condition tab. You have the power right at your finger tips. Best of luck this weekend from your friends at Winning Ponies!
