Saratoga Selections

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23

SPOT PLAYS

SARATOGA

Race 5

#6 Spectrolite

Never runs a bad race and has won 3 of his last four outs coming into this race with regular rider Angel Arroyo. Owns good speed and could get loose up front here as the best, and possibly lone speed. Goes wire-to-wire at longer distances, and will be extremely tough to catch here at 5 1/2F on the turf.

Race 9

#6 Voodoo Song

Plus play an exacta box w/ #8 Nevisian Sky

#6 Voodoo Song reeled off two straight wins now, including the last race which was this horse’s first off the claim by Linda Rice. Goes out to long early leads and doesn’t fold, making her a tough horse to either bet against now, or try to beat. Speed figures stack up well vs. these, and the front-running style has been working extremely well for her.

Play in exacta box w/ #8 Nevisian Sky, who is the main horse in this field with a chance to catch the front-running top selection. Goes out for high-percentage trainer Chad Brown, who is dominating the turf at this Saratoga meet, and gets Jose Ortiz aboard, who is also dominating the meet. Fast speed figures since switching to the grass two races ago. The top contender much be used in all exacta boxes.
