Saratoga Turf

A relaxing, though somewhat hot Saturday.  We turn our attention to the sensational Saratoga Turf.

Saratoga Race 6 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A good field of eleven will make their start in a very competitive allowance feature.  The race appears evenly divided between forwardly placed types and late running types.  Should be a dandy Saratoga Turf run.

#6 Tahoe Lake [BRZ] (J. Velazquez / McPeek) looks primed and ready to win this one.  He has the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two strong workouts.  This guy should be tracking the pace ready to scoot away to victory.
$1 WIN / SHOW.

#4 Rubber Duck [GER] (Castro / Mott) will be making his first North American start, but has had a nice career racing in Germany.  He has improved his placing in each of his last three races and has put in four stellar workouts after a brief layoff.  Cannot count him out.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.

#2 Pretty Boy Freud (Sanchez / O'Brien) looks ready to run with the highest speed number at the distance, a couple of decent last out speed numbers, and one solid workout.  He is the only one in the field that has raced over the Saratoga Turf and raced well.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#9 Clear Attempt (Lezcano / Mott) appears ramped-up enough to be in the hunt with the third highest last out speed number and four superb, peaking workouts.  He will be forwardly placed ready to roll in the stretch.

#3 Police Chatter (Solis / Serpe) looks ready to move up in distance with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two athletic workouts.  Could be the speed that holds on for a piece.


10 CENT Superfecta

#6 Tahoe Lake [BRZ] / #4 Rubber Duck [GER] / #2 Pretty Boy Freud / #9 Clear Attempt, #3 Police Chatter.
