Saratoga Selections

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16

SPOT PLAYS

SARATOGA

Race 5

#4 My Mr. Wonderful

Was meant for turf in career debut, but ran big anyway in an off-the-turf sprint, showing good speed and settling for second in a solid effort while eight lengths clear of the third-place horse. Jose Ortiz board for high-percentage Rick Violette.

Race 6

#7 Saratoga Wildcat

Plus play an exacta box w/#6 Rockford

#7 Saratoga Wildcat has been in good form on dirt if you toss out the recent turf try fiasco, and has been particularly good in sprints at or near this 7F distance. Irad Ortiz, who won aboard him at Belmont, returns for the mount, and this horse has loved Saratoga in the past with 2 wins from 3 prior outings.

Play in exacta box w/#6 Rockford, who also is a Saratoga horse for the course with 2 wins a second and a third in four prior races at The Spa. In good form with a recent win at Belmont and a solid second out of town last time for new trainer David Jacobson.

Plus play Daily Double in Race 5, #4 My Mr. Wonderful w/ #6 Rockford and #7 Saratoga Wildcat
