Saratoga: Key Horses for Thursday, August 11

Saratoga picks

Clear skies through the weekend in Saratoga and the train is rolling into the parking lot as we speak. Let the celebration of winners start today. Skip.

Race 3: 1 Mile. F.Clm 25000n2L

#1 Belarus (5/1) – This filly is stretching out to a mile for the first time and this race is wide open. The Ductor really liked her maiden win last time. She was bumped both sides break, made an impressive move on the turn and wore down the loose leader. She can improve off that effort and beat this field.

Race 4: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.OC 45000n2x

#1 Ghost Giant (5/1) – Dropping to the state bred level last time, this gelding would have likely won if he was able to find room in the stretch. He steadied badly along the rail, then re-rallied and galloped out very well. He looks to get a favorable trip today with a quick pace to run at.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 The Sleepychipmunk (6/1) – This filly tried routing on the grass for the first time last time and ran a career best race. She ran a very good 3rd with a bad trip chasing a quick pace 3-wide uncovered the entire way. She can step forward off that effort and find herself in the winners circle at a nice price.

Race 7: 1 1/8 Mile. Clm 40000

#6 Claytnthelionheart (6/1) – This gelding woke up last time at Saratoga dropping in class chasing a quick pace. He looks to be cycling back to his best races and should get a favorable trip in this race with no other early pace. Trainer Phillip Bauer is 36% with a +$0.43 ROI this year with runners 3rd off the layoff

Happy Whitney Stakes Day passengers. Perfect timing right after the Ductor slaughtered yesterdays card. What a great life us passengers get to live. We just get rich while the Ductor does all the work. More coal! More!

Saratoga Race 2: #4 She Caught My Eye (4/1), #6 Afilada (5/2)

Race 4: #2 Khali Magic (9/5), #6 Impazible Donna (6/1)

Saratoga Race 5: #8 Somelikeithotbrown (5/2)

Race 6: #6 Rocket Can (6/1)

Saratoga Race 7: #6 War Like Goddess (1/2), #3 Petricor (6/1)

Race 8: #5 Fluid Situation (8/1), #7 Money Supply (9/2)

Race 9: #1 Matareya (2/5), #4 Wish You Well (12/1)

*Whitney Stakes Race 10: *Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Hot Rod Charlie (9/2) – This is a very salty rendition of the Whitney despite the short field. Life is Good and Olympiad will take the majority of the money and Hot Rod Charlie will likely be an overlay after being defeated last time. The Ductor doesn’t hold that effort against him, he ran very well returning from Dubai and going a shorter distance against a gutsy sprinter. Stretching out to his best distance today, the Ductor is against Life is Good going this far at such a short price and Olympiad hasn’t faced a runner as classy as Hot Rod. The Ductor trusts Prat to work out a good trip and he is the clear bet for him the morning line is relatively accurate.
