Go North for Great Stakes Action

A wonderful Stakes Saturday as we look at two great races.  The Alabama at Saratoga and the Canandian Derby at Northlands Park.

Saratoga Race 10 {Alabama~G1~1 1/4 mile~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
A seriously talented field of six will go to the gate for this one.  Only one has gone this distance and she will have the advantage.  Count on a strong pace with the two speedsters.  A very exciting race is sure to unfold.

#6 Inglorious (Contreras / J. Carroll) has a slight edge here with the highest last out speed number at this distance, a four race progression, and four excellent, peaking workouts.  She will be ready to close down this field.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.

#3 Plum Pretty (M. Garcia / Baffert) could get the better of any speed duel that may develop.  She has the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three stout, peaking workouts.  Could be the speedster that finishes strongly.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.

#1 Royal Delta (Lezcano / Mott) will be closing swiftly in what could be a torrid pace with a decent last out speed number and two speedy workouts.  She has the heart to win this one.
$2 SHOW.

NO 10 CENT Superfecta will be offered due to the small field.


Northlands Park Race 10 {Canadian Derby~G3~1 3/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A nice large field of twelve for the 82nd Canadian Derby in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  No horse in this field has ever run this distance which will make for a terrific race.  A quality balance of the forwardly placed and those that like to come from off the pace.  It will be a good one from the gorgeous Northlands.

#3 Inhisglory (Hamel / Macpherson) is the deserved favorite and should run well for the victory.  There will be eleven gunning for him though.  He holds the highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two endurance building workouts.  He should be forwardly placed ready to strike at the top of the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

#10 Freedoms Traveller (Zenteno / Knechtell) could surprise sharing the highest last out speed number with Inhisglory.  He has been well spotted with an eight race progression, and has put in a robust workout.  He is well prepped to come off the pace seeking victory.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#5 Embellished (Martinez / Hedge) appears ready to move up in distance with the third highest last out speed number and two athletic workouts.  He loves the Northlands Park course with a 100% in the money record over seven races.  This guy will be forwardly placed ready to make his move in the turn.

#11 Tommy D' Horsey (Guiterrez / Macpherson) could surprise with the second highest (tie) last out speed number and two hearty workouts.  He will be a speedster that could hold on for a share.

Northlands Park offers No 10 CENT Superfecta
