Saratoga: Key Horses for Thursday, August 5
1 min read
The chalk is killing the Ductor. Toga is a fickle beast and we must stay the course. Dodge, duck, dip, dive and keep firing. Let’s Ride.
Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.Mdn 85k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Eridromos (10/1) – Lugovich is a low volume trainer that will hit with 1st time starters on the NYRA circuit. The Ductor likes this colt’s work tab and this is a very weak field with a vulnerable favorite. He can surprise this group, but he wont slide by the Ductor.
Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. S.Alw 90000n1x
#4 Irish Valor (4/1) – This hard knocking gelding is in good form and ran a good 2nd last time he tried Toga. He’ll run his race and someone else will have to earn it to beat him. He’ll likely be overlooked at the windows shipping in from Finger Lakes as well.
