Saratoga has offered horse racing fans a beautiful menu to feast from today. Palace Malice is the main course in the Whitney Handicap, and the big horse whose last win was a scripted adventure on a lovely day at Belmont Park did not scare off many. A field of nine will line up in the Whitney and some very accomplished race horse will try to knock that sweet taste out of Palace Malice's mouth. Will Take Charge will reunite with Luis Saez and try to regain the form that had him eating up the track. Itsmyluckyday whose comeback race this year was against Palace Malice in Florida and he was sent away wounded from the defeat. He moved his bruised ego down to the Jersey shore and regained his confidence. Moreno's trainer Eric Guillot said that he will go to the front and if you want to go with him it will cost you. A few years ago during the Breeders' Cup, Nick Zito said the same thing when he dared anyone to dance with War Pass on the front end. They didn't and Cornelio Velasquez stole the money. Moreno could be the lone speed on the front end if others decide to take back, and if that happens anything can happen.

Race 4: Keening... is a consistent young lady that always put her best effort forward..won back in June and I don't see why she can't repeat that effort once more.
Tokyo Time...will make a good account of herself in this spot..she loves the distance//nice company line..Castellano.
Selection
Keening

Race 5: Royal Son is a son of Tiznow..Pletcher is loaded with babies once again..this charge worked 59.35 on July 23rd which was best of fifteen..open the gate and let him roll.
Evolution..is 10/1 on the morning line..first start finished third..major room for improvement and the morning line should be there.
Selection
Royal Son
Evolution
Pride Of Stride
Race 6: is a closely matched turf race for three year old fillies...Fashion Fund is getting blinkers..making fourth start in country..enough time to figure her out..Rosario and Shug..money makers.
Granny Mc'sKitten...is coming out of a strong Edgewood stakes at Churchill Downs. She finished fifth behind A Little Bit Sassy and Istanford...Tepin also came out of that race to run well at DelMar. Love her today!
Selection
Granny Mc'sKitten
Fashion Fund
Pink Poppy
Race 7: Pianist..is coming off layoff..kept wonderful company..if she is ready the music could sound very good.
Joy..won last time out in a five horse field...one horse lost its jockey which interfered with the running of the race...she kicked on in the stretch..turf wasn't firm..could get a piece.
Dayatthespa... coming off layoff...two back finished behind the impressive Better Lucky.
Filimbi..won last time out and two back finished behind Somali Lemonade.

Race 8: Vyjack... I have been sitting on this one and waiting for the right opportunity to play him..he is cutting back to a distance that he will love tremendously..the price will be lovely and he will provide you with seed money for Whitney and Test. Bet Often on this one.
Palace and Baken will be a difficult matchup for Vyjack..
Happy My Way..has been cooking with gas lately..last three starts are lovely bio.
Lemon Drop Dream..has grow up potential and horses can grow up overnight.
Selection
Vyjack
Palace
Happy My Way

Race 9: The Test I am expecting a very fast pace like the Victory Ride, so I will be looking for closers at a price.
Street Story...who won the Victory Ride should get same setup.
Birdmaker...who won last race at Churchill will appreciate the seven furlongs.
Southern Honey...brings three game winning streak..going very well.
Selection
Street Story
Birdmaker
Southern Honey
Race 10: The Whitney is a four horse race... the pace maker Moreno will have a comfortable lead if allowed to roam out there by himself..Romansh may provide some push but that may take him out of his game..Palace Malice will sit off the speed and Will Take Charge will wait until the engine is fully heated up. Palace Malice is a serious racehorse but horses get beat and I have tried to beat him a few times with no success..I am stubborn..will try to beat him once more with Moreno doing his best Game On Dude impersonation..color me crazy.
Selection
Moreno
Palace Malice
Will Take Charge

Race 11: I was confused looking at this bunch. I went through the lot and wished the main track only entrants were a part of the body..you can take a shot with just about any of these..box four and hope for the best.
