Saratoga Stakes Saturday

A wonderfull Stakes Saturday unfolds as we get that much closer to the end of summer.

Saratoga Race 10 {Woodward~G1~1 1/8 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
An extremely talented field of seven will venture onto the Saratoga dirt.  Most of the field likes to be near the pace, but it should be a controlled pace with these experienced horses.  All of the horses in the field are coming off of races at this distance.  It should be a great race.

#6 To Honor and Serve (J. Velazquez / Mott) looks ready to roll with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and four superb peaking workouts.  He holds the third highest speed number at the distance adding to his value.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.

#3 Mucho Macho Man (Smith / Ritvo) will challenge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three strong workouts.  He holds the highest speed number at the distance which certainly makes him a contender.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.

#7 Cease (Rosario / Stall) could be the surprise sharing the third highest last out speed number, holding a two race progression, and firing four robust, peaking workouts.  Is three for three over the Saratoga track.  Watch him track this pace and cruise in the stretch.
$1 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#1 Rule (Dominguez / Pletcher) has the best jockey/trainer combination in his corner.  He should be forwardly placed coming off a dissappointing last out at Saratoga.  He shares the second highest speed number at the distance and has put in two credible workouts.
