When the two year olds are turned out at Saratoga you know you are going to get some high priced beauty, trained by some of the top barns in the game. Today's card gives us the chance to see two feature races where someone will step up and set the stage for fall racing at Belmont and Keeneland. The Saratoga Special brings back Cinco Charlie who ran a tough, gritty race in a losing effort. He broke his maiden at Churchill Downs and came back to win the Bashford Manor in stylish fashion. His race in the Stanford was fast from the moment the gate opened, and Bridgmohan his jockey never really gave him a breather because his hands were forced. In the Saratoga Special he will have to face Mr. Z who is a talented horse who will only get better when the distance gets longer.
The other feature on the card is the Adirondack Stakes for the young ladies. Wonder Gal who was a freak at Belmont in her first start will break from the rail with Taylor Rice on her back for the giddyup. Wonder Gal trained by underrated Leah Gyarmati gave us all a treat when she broke her maiden by fifteen lengths. The field behind her that day was not much, but a good horse wins no matter what, and a great horse dominates. She dominated that small field and will bring her talents to Saratoga today. Some players that she need to pay attention to are Angela Renee who was also impressive in her win, and Vivian Da Bling who won both her starts for the Bret Calhoun barn. Not to be forgotten is Cavorting who broke her maiden down at Belmont Park going six furlongs. The Bernardini filly showed off for the McLaughlin barn in a four horse field, and she will be a player this afternoon when the latch flies open.
Adirondack:
Wonder Gal... impressive in her first start and will be given a strong test...glad Rice got to stick with this one.
Phonenix Park...won at Parx in first start..ultra talented Castellano jumps aboard and he may get something but I want more before I fish this one out of deep water.
Angela Renee... broke maiden like most of Pletcher's good ones...second place finisher Sunday Sonnet came back and won..bodes well for this charge.
Take Charge Brandi... another impressive one in this field..two races and two in the money.. beat Conquest Archangel in first start and lost to Fashion Alert in the Schuylerville.
Cavorting..one start one win..will be making noise in the stretch.
Vivan Da Bling...two starts two wins..will you get 4/1?... Angela Renee will take most of the money but this one will garner some strong support..experience is a major factor in horse racing especially with babies.
Empressive Humor...I had this one over the Pletcher charge..Rosario takes over... Rosie may think she is sitting on the right one.
Angela Renee will be a tough candidate in this spot but I really believe Take Charge Brandi will be difficult as well... 10/1 on Take Charge Brandi is insane... I am taking Take Charge Brandi over Angela Renee with Cavorting to finish the trifecta.
Saratoga Special:
I Spent It... one maiden race..two horses that finished behind him came back to run ok.
Lord Tyrion.... two year olds can grow up overnight but I think the seasoned horses will show their stuff here..this one makes me hunger for the Game Of Thrones series to come back quickly.
Mr. Z...just a tough competitor and I will love him even more when the races begin the two turn gallop... two lovely efforts thus far.
Tizcano... the Gulfstream invader will be in deep.
Rod McLeod... winner first time out at Churchill going four and a half... not smitten today.
Nonna's Boy..what type of trip will he get this time..will Bridgmohan and Velasquez kill each other once more or will cooler heads prevail..who will blink?.... odds are inviting because its Pletcher and Johnny..don't be surprised if Johnny comes out with a different game plan and totally destroy this field...initial win was impressive.
Cinco Charlie..I have been following this one since Churchill Downs..love the owners and glad they are back in the game..they are sticking with their main dude who rode for them on several occasions..Bridge will have to calculate in his head much better than he did last time..save something for the drive and he will be there.
Stanford... I find this one intriguing..he went down to Jersey and did his work ..second place finisher came back to win.
Cleveland Sound... This is a tough spot.
Majestic Affair..is the son of the very fast Majesticperfection...will be gunned from there and see how long he can hold up against this bunch...this is not Canterbury.
W V Jetsetter... three starts..two wins and a third..that post position is making me turn my head away.
I am playing Cinco Charlie who will get a breather and have some left for home... Nonna's Boy will be give a better account this time around and Mr. Z will be charging but if Bridgmohan and Velasquez give their horses a realistic shot then he may run out of ground.
