Race 1
#4 After Prom Party
Needed a
race last time out off of an eight-month layoff and will benefit from that race
this time in the second start off the layoff. Rosario picks up the mount with
is a good sign of trainer intent, and this horse should win this if able to run
back to his effort here at Saratoga last season. Ready.
Race 8
#2 Texas
Swing
Plus play exacta box w/ #5 Creative Style
#2 Texas
Swing was a good-looking wire-to-wire maiden winner for Pletcher this winter
when stretched out to a route for the first time, then immediately tried the
Tampa Bay Derby, where he was not embarrassed for third behind the likes of
King Guillermo and Sole Volante. Hasn’t been seen since, but Pletcher has had a
great meet and this horse should be ready to score back at this allowance level.
Play in
exacta box with #5 Creative Style, who has run a pair of good recent route
races first with a win at Belmont three races ago and then a second here at
Saratoga at this distance last time out. Likes this track and should round out
the exactas, at least.
