Saratoga Selections
FRIDAY, AUGUST 18
SPOT PLAYS
SARATOGA
Race 5
#2 Missbigtimes
Lost a strong maiden race last time in well-bet career debut behind a repeat next-out winner. Looks good against this field with a similar effort, or the expected second-out improvement. Good sign that Jose Ortiz stays for the mount.
Race 8
#6 Alex the Terror
Plus play an exacta box w/#5 A Fleet Attitude
#6 Alex the Terror is a major mud-lover who has run well in both past attempts at Saratoga. Ran a bang-up race last time on a fast track with the help of blinkers on, which really seemed to spur strong improvement.
Play in exacta box w/ #5 A Fleet Attitude, who is another mud-loving horse with 2 wins and 2 seconds in 4 career wet track races. In good form and dropping back down for a tag today after having won two races ago when last raced at this level.
