We’re actually on the turf this week at Saratoga. Looks like the Saturday’s card should be in tact too. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and fill our pockets with coal before the weekend. The Conductor likes two horses quite a bit. Skip.
Race 4: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Mdn 100k
#7 Pemaquid (9/2) – This filly ran better than it looks in her debut at Keeneland. Rosario gave her a caboose ride, and made early 4/5wide move on the turn. She did well to sustain her bid, and the Conductor sees her appreciating the added distance here. Pemaquid gets a major turf rider upgrade to Dylan Davis today as well.
Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Mdn 90k
#1 Saratoga Snow (8/1) – This filly ran way better than her running line last time. It was her first start of the the year and her first start sprinting on turf. She was traveling nicely and got completely taken up avoiding danger on the turn. She should have run DFL, but still finished with interest. Now 2nd off the bench, adding blinkers and drawing the rail, Saratoga Snow should fire big effort.
