August 17th, Wednesday
The card today could play a bit chalky early, bu t I think there will be some value late.
The two races today are Saratoga 8th and Saratoga 10th.
Saratoga 8th:
My first selection is going to be #7 TARPYS, a horse taking an acceptable drop in class, and also ranked superbly throughout all BLBL readouts and up top on the BLBL. Can’t pass him up at 9/2 ML and will be hoping to get a price around 5/2 and 3/1. As always, if any of my selections drop below 2/1, that horse is filled in with my 3rd selection which will usually be listed at the bottom under “contenders”.
My next selection is #3 WIZARDLY. He’s just a hard knocking claimer and at 10/1 ML hopefully he will stay at that price. He is definitely worth a shot against this field. He uses his energy late and ranks well in the necessary rankings for a late running horse. Love the value, and he may be able to pose for picture at a good price.
Contenders: 3-6-7
Top Two: 3-7
Saratoga 10th:
My first selection is the horse right on top again with a decent price, #4 CHOMSKY. Although this horse is a professional maiden at 0-15, I think that he may be able to break through against these. It seems to be a bit of a weaker field, and with his numbers I think he can get it done.
My next selection is #11 ALIEN. A horse with a bit of upside having only run three times and recently finishing 2nd. His numbers contend with this field and at 12/1 ML he may be able to make my day. As I said I think this is a weaker field with lots of 0 for 10 and 15 maidens. He still has some upside, his energy usage is very even, and he is well ranked throughout the readouts to confirm he is a grinding type. I think this horse is dangerous at 12/1. Expect that price to go down.
Contenders: 4-9-11
Top Two: 4-11
