Race 1 DD 8-7 with 4-3
Irad is again off all his mounts & with some brotherly love Jose will be riding Counting Stars in Race 11. If you haven't see this filly run, check her out.
Family coming over to watch the Giants/Dolphins game @ 4 & it's going to get crazy here but it's a good crazy.
I have a STABLE PLAY @ COLONIAL RACE 8 #7 GOATS ON A TREE ML 6-1
#7 Bubster was impressive winning easily. #8 ran a distant 2nd. Alive in the DD with 3 ($60.84) & 4 ($19.68)
We'll see
RACE 3 is another 2 year old MSW race for colts. These are always a crapshoot.
#1 was very heavily bet in his only try finishing 2nd for Asmussen,
#2 Bill Mott goes to Jose Lezcano because Junior is in Cali. 1st time starter out of Gun Runner
#3 got brushed in his only try. Santana's been riding well & I like the Tom Amoss replacement trainer Kinnon LaRose
#4 1st timer for Manny & Chad; Gun Runner has another one here
#5 is a 1st timer for Shug & his works don't show much. So that makes him immediately dangerous in my mind.
#6 Johnny V for Pletcher & great owners in Winstar. Daddy is Constitution
#7 I never play a Barclay Tagg horse but you can
#8 Prat/Chad/John Tabor & Peter Brant are the owners. 1st timer
#9 1st timer attracts Javier for sneaky Kenny McPeek
In these 2 year old races, I look to the ownership & breeding & I come up with
BOXING 2-6-8-9
Luis Saez wins his 4,000 win! I lose & run 2nd.
The turf @ Saratoga looks overused & torn up to me
RACE 4
#1 won her last
#2 one of my favorite trainers Saffie Joseph is 1-for 30 at the meet. Last time I said that about Linda Rice she got en fuego. Manny stays up
#3 this girl is 1 for 18
#4 Trainer Rudy Rodriquez is 1 for 40. His stock doesn't seem to be up to his usual standards
#5 1-for 15
#6 looks like the inner to me
#7 jock is 1 for 31 & the trainer is 0 for 26
#8 Asmussen trains/owns this filly & gets Jose Ortiz; ran 5th twice in a row but is dangerous here
#9 broke maiden in her last
Playing #6 but not sure with who yet
Great ride by Johnny V on #6 for Pletch/Winstar & grabbed 2nd for Pratt/Brown/Tabor. These wealthy owners run these 2 year olds hoping to find the next Secretariat & they are willing to pay big money for the chance. So that's anothere indication the owners are high on their filly or colt.
Exacta 6-8 paid $118.96
#2 one of my favorite trainers Saffie Joseph is 1-for 30 at the meet. Last time I said that about Linda Rice she got en fuego. Manny stays up
So of course Saffie Joseph wins the race beating my pick #6 who ran 2nd
Manny stays up
He was on her in the race before & lost as the chalk. Today she went off @ 7/2. Good decision Manny.
I'm going to post my notes/plays for the rest of the card
RACE 5 BOXING 5-7-8-10..this race is nothing special. #7 is owned by Kenny McPeek's wife Sherrie. #5 I like trainer Ray Handal; #8 drops from a MSW to a 55k Claiming race. They're definitely trying to get rid of her.
Race 6 Another 2 year old for fillies ...Bobby Flay owns #7; Michael Dubb owns #1; Mike Repole owns #9 Godolphin owns #11
RACE 7
Only 6 going. I'm on #6 Nakatomi
RACE 8 No Clue
RACE 9
#10 C McGriff....entered & scratched 3 times in a row. So did Parcell's find the right spot for him? Who the hell knows but I got a WPS play here
Race 10 is a STABLE PLAY on #7 GRAYOSH ML 8-1. We had this girl when she won her last @ 8-1. Tyler stays up
RACE 11 Watch & enjoy #6 Counting Stars
RACE 12
#8 Osmosis
@jlewin
Would have been great if C McGriff ran worth a shit. He didn't look right physically.
Stable pick Grayosh ran an ok 4th after missing the break @8-1 with Tyler @ Saratoga.
Goats on a Tree was the other stable play @ Colonial broke next to last as well but she made a big move going like 5 wide & ran down the leader paying $16.20/$8.40/$3.20. The exacta paid $124.20.
Have a good week brother.
