SPA 2011

Off my annual post Triple Crown layoff and back for the best racing season of the year!

Best of luck to everyone!

Race 1 Saratoga:

Inner turf at Saratoga + no rain = Speed Rules!

1,3 & 6 appear to be those most interested in early contention.

Although the times are much weaker and the price likely much shorter, I figure Dominguez will figure out the best trip of these.

I think it's Fizzano in race 1 @ the Spa! 

But I like both #3 Adam Rides Again & #6 Dual Citizen as likely upsets and juicy fillers.

Race 4 Saratoga:

More of a spot play, but I have Valiant Passion in my DRF Watch from last year as a horse who was clearly lights out in his debut.

Motion got him in October and has had him on the shelf ever since.  Bullet works are not a staple of Motions training progressions so I suspect this one is kicking the barn down ready to fire beauty.

Short price, but 2-1 might be a steal in a race where he might win by daylight.

Race 5:

A who's who of 2yo racing at Saratoga.

I'm a firm believer in taking a stand against firsters, because quite often the greenness of these animals out weighs the pounding they take in the windows.

I like the 8 Bargain Blitz to win, and would also play an ex/box 4/8 as DWL has a way of turning that crummy form around with FTL & FTS (that's First time Saratoga!)

What a great wagering race the 8th will be.

Let me know who you like....I'm clueless.

I AGREE WITH #1 IN THE FIRST RACE BUT I WOULD ALSO THROUGH #4 ROCKYS WORLD #6 AND #9 BOAT TO FINISH IN THE EXOTICS

Best of luck with this SPA Meeting..... bring em in fellas ...!!

Valid Passion romped by 7 & was hand ridden.

Nice call Bull....
