A good field of nine will take to the green in this the "lucky last" on the card. There is sufficient speed to get this race moving. Speed numbers are very close making it a highly competitive event. All of these lads have proven ability over the turf and the distance. Our task is to needle together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be a great race to cap off the week.
#2 Mongol Bull (Valdivia / Rainwater) looks like he is ready to take on this field. He won in his last at the same distance and has put in two strong peaking workouts. This guy relishes the Arlington Turf having hit the board in all eight times he has run over it. He holds the highest speed number at this distance. A son of Hard Spun, he should race close to the leaders and spring into the stretch. He is out Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$3 SHOW.

This gelding is 56% in the money from thirty-two career starts. A son of Giant's Causeway he should be part of the pace scenario.

Superfecta Sunday at the "Spa"
A wonderful summer Superfecta Sunday will unfold. Today we take a look at a very nice Turf sprint up at the "Spa".
Saratoga Race 9 {Coronation Cup Stakes~5 1/2 Furlongs~3 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}
It looks like a field of seven will saunter onto the New York grass. Two entrants (bookends #1 and #9) raced only days ago. It is unlikely they will race today. This race is heavily speed loaded which creates a handicapping quandary; do we take the speed of the speed or create a ticket with a pace meltdown in mind. Today we'll opt for the latter, but do encourage our handicapping fans to back it up with a speed of the speed play. The speed numbers are very close for these still improving ladies. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket. It should be another sensational Saratoga Turf race.
#6 Eyein the Sky (Rosario / M. Casse) has the tactical speed to stay in this one from the opening gate. She can let up on the gas as the speedsters in the race do their thing. She has improved with every Turf race she has run and has put in two hearty workouts. A daughter of Sky Mesa, she holds the second highest speed number at the distance and is 66% in the money at same.She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.
#2 Lyrical Lady (Santana / Asmussen) holds the second highest overall speed fig as she makes a switch from the dirt to the Turf. This gal is coming off a longer sprint and has put in two fine peaking workouts. A daughter of More Than Ready, she should love the Saratoga Turf as she stays in close contact with the leaders.
#7 Midnight Fantasy (L. Saez / Sharp) also makes a change from dirt to Turf with three good last out speed numbers and two robust workouts. This gal should be tracking the pace closely looking for an opening to slide through in the stretch. A daughter of Midnight Lute, she has already hit the board at the distance.
#5 A Bit of Both (I. Ortiz / Ja. Servis) could go off as the speedster favorite with the second highest last out speed number which scored a victory at this very distance. She has rattled off four wins in a row and stands at 100% in the money from six career starts. This daughter of Paynter has the opportunity to wire the field.

Superfecta Sunday in New Jersey
Off we go for another fine Turf race in Jersey for our Superfecta Sunday.
Monmouth Park Race 9 {Jersey Girl handicap~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillie/Mares~NJ~Stakes}
A field of seven Jersey girls will strut onto the grass in this annual affair. There is a small amount of speed in this short field which will make the trackers and closers stay nearer to the pace. Speed numbers are fairly close. Our task is to sew together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#6 Diamond Play (P. Lopez / Margotta) looks like she might spring into victory with the highest last out speed number at a longer route and two steady workouts. She does love the Monmouth course and has done well at this distance. A daughter of E Dubai, she will need some pace on the front to demonstrate her kick. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.
#1 Heading Home (Bravo / K. Breen) could be the one to beat with the third highest last otu speed number at a longer route and three strong workouts. She excels at this distance having a 100% in the money record at it and loves the Monmouth Turf. A daughter of After Market, she should track the pace closely.
#3 Ebony Ball (Juarez / Stephens) looks to be the pace setter coming out of dirt sprints. She shares the second highest last out speed number and has put in three dynamite workouts including two bullets. A daughter of Park Avenue Ball, this gal has a 58% in the money record from seventeen career starts.
#7 Crazy Daisy (haddock / Penaloza) should be in the mix also with that second highest last out speed number and one sound long workout. She is the second most races Jersey girl in this race holding a 67% in the money record from thirty-seven career starts. A daughter of Sky Mesa, she does get along well on the Turf.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

Stakes Saturday at Bountiful Belmont
Another great weekend of Summer racing is upon us. On this Stakes Saturday we take a look at a classic distance Turf race in New York.
Belmont Park Race 9 {Belmont Derby~G1~1 1/4 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
A magnificent group of fourteen runners will swing onto the grass in this annual contest. It comes up a little light on speed. Expect a Euro-guickening heading into the stretch run. speed figs are comparable which creates a chance for any of these to make a solid improvement to the winner's circle. It should be one of many exciting races at beautiful Belmont Park.
#9 Cape of Good Hope [IRE] (Lordan / A. O'Brien) looks ready to rumble on the New York Turf. He was last seen in Great Britain and France facing arguably tougher rivals. He has raced this distance twice having won one of those races. A son of the great Turf sire Galileo [IRE], he has a versatile running style that should keep him in the race until the wire.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#14 Rockemperor [IRE] (J. Velazquez / C. Brown) will be making his first North American start after racing exclusively in France. He ran a little bit longer in his last race acquitting himself capably. This lad has hit the board both times he has raced this distance. Two steady workouts add to his cache. A son of Holy Roman Emperor [IRE], he should track the pace closely and strike in the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#12 Demarchelier [GB] (Castellano / C. Brown) has won three straight with improving speed numbers every race. This guy has put in three very vigorous workouts prepping for this high quality race. As a son of Dubawi [IRE], he is a strong stayer that will be tracking the pace and explode into the stretch.
$1 SHOW.
#3 Seismic Wave (Rosario / Mott) is another that has improved in each of his last three races. As he stretches out in distance he should level up once again. This lad is 100% in the money from two starts over the Belmont Turf. A son of Tapit, he should take up a good tracking position and close strongly into the stretch.
$1 Saturday Exacta Wheel ($3.00)
#9 Cape of Good Hope [IRE] / #14 Rockemperor [IRE], #12 Demarchelier [GB], #3 Seismic Wave.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

Gulfstream Park Race 4 {7 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year-old Up~Maiden Claiming}
#1 Reorganize (Prado / Braddy) has already hit the board at this distance twice. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and is on a three race progression. Safe to say this guy enjoys the Turf. A son of Data Link, he has the tactical speed to stay the course.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#4 Good Timing Man (Rendon / Biacone) should challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and one hearty workout. This lad holds the highest speed number at the distance. A son of Overdriven he should run close to the pace and strike in the stretch.
#6 Spanned (Zayas / Maker) will go off as the deserved favorite as he drops in from a Maiden Special Weight race where he scored the highest last out speed number amongst this group. He has put in a powerful peaking workout tab of four works in preparation. A son of Arch, he should be forwardly place ready to score.
#8 Taranto (Panici / Sancal) should contend with the second highest last out speed number at a route and three superb peaking workouts. He likes the surface of the Gulfstream course. A son of the great Gio Ponti, he has every chance of winning this one on the front end if he is sent.
10 CENT Superfecta
#1 Reorganize / #4 Good Timing Man / #6 Spanned, #8 Taranto / ALL.
