#3 Spin a Yarn
Finger Lakes
killer moves up to the big leagues for the first time after racking-up a four
race winning streak with no horse ever coming close to her so far in her
career. Blazing workouts indicate continued fitness and there are no standouts
in this field, so she should win just by continuing to do what she’s already
doing.
Race 8
#3 Palace
Avenger
Plus play exacta box w/ #1 Bertranda
#3 Palace
Avenger has been no worse than second in the last four outings including an
allowance win here at Saratoga last time out. Has the speed to go all the way,
but doesn’t need the lead to win. Owns the top speed figures of these, and gets
winning rider Jose Ortiz back aboard for Wesley Ward.
Play in
exacta box with #1 Bertranda, who goes first time out off the claim by trainer
Orlando Noda, who has had a dynamite Saratoga meet so far with nine winners
this season and a 43% win percentage. Had a sub-par outing last time out, but
can be expected to have a positive turnaround for this new barn, and that makes
her dangerous because the outings before last were good enough to put her in
contention against today’s competition.
