SARATOGA ANALYSIS FOR FRIDAY – 8/12/2020

RACE 1 – HURDLES

RACE 2

SHORT FIELD FOR OPTIONAL CLAIMERS GOING 7 FURLONGS ON DIRT.

TOP EARLY SPEED IS STRIKE THAT AND RELEASETHETHUNDER. THIS PAIR ARE CONSIDERABLY FASTER EARLY THAN THE REST OF THE FIELD.

TOP CLOSER IS GUN IT.

RACE 3

MAIDEN CLAIMERS GOING 5 ½ ON TURF.

SPEED IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN THESE SHORT TURF SPRINTS. FLUENT AND SARCASM AND VICTORY BUILT SHOULD BE THE CLEAR LEADERS. SHANDIAN SHOULD BE SITTING THIRD EARLY

NOT MUCH CLOSING ABILITY IN HERE. MONEY IN THE BANK AND LORD CAMDEN SHOULD BE OFFERING MILD RALLIES BUT DOUBT THEY CAN CATCH THE SPEED.

RACE 4

6 FURLONGS ON DIRT FOR 12.5K CLAIMERS.

BIG TIME SPEED BELONGS TO CAMORRA. BEST CHANCE TO CATCH THE LEADER IS TIED UP AS HE SHOULD BE CHASING FROM THE SECOND SPOT.

FRIEND OF LIBERTY, FAIR LASSIE AND RADIANTRITHYM AREN’T AS QUICK AS THE TOP 2, BUT NO CLOSERS IN SIGHT.

RACE 5

1 1/16 ON TURF FOR MAIDEN CLAIMERS.

SPEED ON DISPLAY FROM UNION COLONEL WHO SHOULD GET THE LEAD FROM BREAK BEST AND FREEDOM FORCE CHASING FROM SECOND.

TOP CLOSER IS CLEARLY DIGITAL SOFTWARE, THE ML FAVORITE.

RACE 6

6 FURLONGS ON DIRT NY-BRED ALLOWANCE HORSES.TOP TWO SHOULD BE GOING HEAD TO HEAD, SARATOGA BEAUTY 8/1 VS ML FAVORITE ELOQUENT SPEAKER 4/5. LONGSHOT SINGLE VERSE 10/1 WILL BE CLOSE TO THE TOP 2 AND IT IS LIKELY A THREE-WAY TUSSLE FOR THE LEAD.

BUSTIN SCONES IS TOP CONTENDING CLOSER AND LONGSHOT FIGHT ON LUCY 15/1 IS ACTUALLY FASTEST LATE ON HER BEST DAY

RACE 7

1 MILE TURF FOR MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHTS.

TWO BIG TIME SPEEDERS ARE MICROSECOND AND QUICK RETURN. MUNDACIOUS CAN BE STALKING TUCKED IN JUST BEHIND THESE TOP 2. LONGSHOTS SOUTH AFRICA 10/1 CAN RUN WITH THE TOP 2 EARLY AND LONGSHOT JADE’S DREAM COULD BE STALKING WITH MUNDACIOUS.

WITH ALL THIS SPEED TOP CLOSER SANDRO THE GREAT MAY GET THE PERFECT SETUP IF HE CAN STAY UN TOUCH EARLY. EVEN VOLIERO COULD BE COMING LATE.

SEEMS LIKE A SCRAMBLE UNLESS SCRATCHES LEND A HAND.

RACE 8

1 1/8 MILES ON DIRT FOR ALLOWANCE OPEN COMPANY.

BIG TIME SPEED FROM SINGAPORE TRADER WITH LIVEYOURBEASTLIFE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE. EVEN FARTHER BACK TO ML FAVORITE LIL COMMISSIONER. THESE THREE COULD BE SPREADOUT BUT CLEARLY LEADING ALL OTHERS.

TOP CLOSERS ARE STRONG. LED BY HUNT THE FRONT AND CANDY TYCOON.

INTERESTING!

RACE 9 – ADIRONDAK (G2) $150,000

6 ½ ON DIRT FOR 2- YEAR OLD FILLIES.

MAKE MISCHIEF, THE ML FAVORITE HAS A BIG EDGE AND SHOULD BE THE EARLY LEADER BY OPEN LENGTHS. LUCIFERS LAIR SHOULD BE CHASING FROM SECOND.

THOUGHTFULLY AND BEAUTIFUL FAREWELL COULD BE IN THEIR OWN BATTLE IN THE SECOND TIER BUT DON’T SEEM FAST ENOUGH TO BEAT ONE OF THE TOP 2.

NO CLOSERS TO BE FOUND.

RACE 10

6 ½ FURLONGS ON DIRT FOR MAIDEN CLAIMERS.

DEEPLY ANALYTICAL SHOULD HAVE HUGE ADVANTAGE EARLY WITH ONLY LOVE ME TOMORROW WITHIN SHOUTING DISTANCE.

MIA B STAR 8/1 WILL BE FAR BACK BEHIND THE EARLY LEADERS BUT HAS MORE STRETCH KICK THAN THE TOP 2, SO HE COULD APPEAR TO BE CLOSING. IN FACT, SHE IS THE TOP CLOSER.

LONGSHOT PEERLESS 15/1 IS IN THE SAME POSITION. AS “MIA”. WILL BE CLOSE TO THAT ONE EARLY WHILE WELL BACK BUT HAS SOME STRETCH ACUMEN.
