A Four Star Stakes Saturday

 On this Stakes Saturday we look in on one of the premiere tracks with its beautiful Turf course.

Saratoga Race 9 {4 Star Dave~G1~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A great field of nine will hit the TURF in this annual contest. There is some speed to keep the pace honest. Speed numbers are very close making this a super competitive event. There are three millionaires making an appearance in the race. World class trainer, Chad Brown, has four entrants in the race seeking to take down the superfecta. All of these lads have a chance to get their picture taken. It should be a fantastic race.

#6 Uni [GB] (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) looks to be in fine form with the highest last out speed number and four strong workouts. He has hit the board in her last three and is 100% in the money at this distance from nine starts. This guy will need some speed to deploy his fierce kick. A millionaire son of More Than Ready, he shares the highest speed number at this distance.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#5 Halladay (L. Saez / Pletcher) will challenge sharing that highest speed number at the distance. He holds three very good last out speed numbers and two sound workouts. This guy went longer in his last. He is another that is 100% in the money at this distance from three tries. A son of War Front, he should be attempting to wire the field.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#1 Raging Bull [FR] (Rosario / C. Brown) will be challenging his stablemate for an exciting closing finish. He holds the second highest last out speed number and three superb workouts. This lad is 87% in the money at the distance from eight starts. A millionaire son of Dark Angel [IRE],  he loves the surface and the Saratoga course.

$2 SHOW.

#2 Casa Creed (Alvarado / Mott) comes out of a longer route posting a decent last out speed number and four solid workouts. This guy has already won over the Saratoga course. He should be tracking the pace ready to strike. A son of Jimmy Creed, this guy is 57% in the money at the distance from seven starts.

$1 Saturday Exacta Wheel ($3.00)

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club R10.  CTT & TOC Stakes.  Big miss on our 10 CENT Superfecta Box effort catching only one of the four wagering interests required. Superfecta went 2-4-8-6.
