We journey to the "Spa" for a competitive Turf marathon on this Superfecta Sunday.
Saratoga Race 8 {Glens Falls Stakes~G2~1 1/2 mile~4 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}
A reduced field of nine will hit the green in this annual event. Though the field size is not optimal for a Superfecta player, it appears it will a contentious race.
Past Performances used: Equibase.
The nine lads in this race are serious, experienced Turfers. There is sufficient speed to produce an honest pace. Speed numbers are fairly close. Only two will stretch out to this distance. Five will try the Saratoga course for the first time. Interestingly, all but two are foreign born horses. It should be a fantastic wagering event.
#6 Survie [IRE] (Prat / Boughey) comes in after racing in Great Britain. She placed sixth in her last at Ascot and has one published workout in preparation. This girl holds a win at the distance over in France. She should take up a tracking position and quicken into the stretch. A daughter of Churchill [IRE], she is 66% in the money from eighteen starts.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#4 Favorite Memory [GB] (J. Ortiz / DeVaux) is another tracker that will contend in the stretch. She holds the third highest last out speed number and three hearty workouts. This filly has two wins from four tries at the distance. A daughter of Frankel [GB], she is 50% in the money from eight starts.
#9 Gezora [FR] (J. Alvarado / W. Mott) is the deserved morning line favorite with highest speed number over the Turf and two robust workouts. She is yet another that will take up in the tracker pack. A millionaire daughter of Almanzor [FR], she is 75% in the money from twelve starts.
#10 Dona Clota [CHI] (Castellano / S.A. Joseph) should be forwardly placed off the speed. She holds the highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and two solid workouts. She loves the Turf and distance. A daughter of Ivan Denisovich [IRE], she is 58% in the money from seventeen starts.
Other Wagering Interests
#2 Venencia [FR] (M. Husbands / S.A. Joseph) comes in with the second highest last out speed number and two swift peaking workouts. She will be tracking the pace closely seeking to get first jump on the tracker pack. This gal relishes the turf and distance. A daughter of Recoletes [FR], she is 52% in the money from nineteen starts.
#1 Alluring Angel [GB] (Carmouche / W. Mott) shares the highest last out speed number and has cobbled together three consistent workouts. She will track the pace closely. She does enjoy the Turf. A daughter of Fastnet Rock [AUS], she is 50% in the money from sixteen starts.
