Put on a Saratoga Smile

Thank goodness it is Friday.  Saratoga today, the Million tomorrow.  That's right, the Arlington Million is tomorrow with it's Turf friendly race card.

Saratoga Race 7 {Hall of Fame~G2~1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old~Stakes}
Another fantastic field of seven are scheduled to go to the gate for this Turf battle.  Four in the field are Triple Crown nominated and the others are beautifully improving three year-olds.  It appears there will be a strong pace among these closely matched competitors.

#7 Street Game (Curatolo / Serpe) will be the deserved favorite with the highest last out speed number at a longer route, the highest (tie) speed number at the distance, and two solid workouts.  He should be one of the front runners running hard to hoping to hold off the late runners.
$1 WIN / SHOW.

#6 Big Blue Kitten (J. Velazquez / C. Brown) will challenge coming off his fourth win in a row with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and five superior, peaking workouts.  This speed demon could wire the field.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.

#3 Crimson China (Maragh / Motion) will also challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer route and one robust workout.  His closing style may benefit him spectacularly if the pace comes to a boil.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#2 Rusler Hustler (Castellano / Mott) looks ready to take a big step up with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and two stellar, peaking workouts.  Could track the pace looking to stirke in the stretch.

#5 Humble and Hungry (J. Lezcano / Correa) looks hungry with the third highest last out speed number and three hearty workouts.  Will be in the hunt pressing the pace in attempt to secure a victory.
