Saratoga Race 9 {With Anticipation~G2~1 1/16 mile~Turf~2 year old~Stakes}
A talented field of nine are scheduled to make the start.  All are still developing a successful running style.  Most have covered this distance with the exception of two which will be stretching out to a route.  This should be a very competitive race.

$1 WIN / SHOW.

$1 PLACE / SHOW.

#6 State of Play (Dominguez / Motion) will be stretching out to a route from a decent last out sprint speed number and prepped with three endurance workouts.  He could also find himself forwardly place ready to pounce.
