A huge day of racing today at Saratoga with five stakes races from Race 7 through Race 11. The Travers. The Test. The Ballerina. The Troy and the Waya.
There is a mandatory Pick 5 payout today in these five races, so that's where I'm going to go with today's selections.
RACE 7 -- BALLERINA STAKES -- GI -- $300K -- 7 FURLONGS
4 -- BELLAFINA
1 -- SERENGETI EMPRESS
7 -- COME DANCING
3 -- VICTIM OF LOVE
RACE 8 -- TROY STAKES -- GIII -- 200K -- 5-1/2 FURLONGS (TURF)
1 -- IMPRIMIS
7 -- CHEWING GUM
5 -- PURE SENSATION
2 -- AMERICAN SAILOR
RACE 9 -- WAYA STAKES -- GIII -- 150K -- 1-1/2 MILE (TURF)
4 -- MY SISTER NAT
5 -- OLYMPIC GAMES
1 -- MS. SIPPY
7 -- FOOLS GOLD
RACE 10 -- TEST STAKES -- GI -- 300K -- 7 FURLONGS
5 -- GAMINE
6 -- VENETIAN HARBOR
3 -- MRS. DANVERS
1 -- UP IN SMOKE
RACE 11 -- TRAVERS STAKES -- GI -- 1 MILLION -- 1-1/4 MILES
6 -- TIZ THE LAW
3 -- UNCLE CHUCK
4 -- MAX PLAYER
8 -- SOUTH BEND
Today's strategy:
It's a .50 cent Pick 5 and I'm "up" on Saratoga for the meet, so let's make sure I've got sufficient coverage. Especially in the earlier races.
Race 7 -- My top four picks: 1,3,4,7
Race 8 -- My top four picks plus #4 (Shekky Shebaz) 1,2,4,5,7
Race 9 -- My top four picks: 1,4,5,7
Race 10 -- Going with Gamine and Venetian Harbor: 5,6
Race 11 -- Going with Tiz the Law, Uncle Chuck and Max Player 3,4,6
The wager $240. Of course, you can "lighter this up a bit and just single Gamine and Tiz the Law to get out for a mere $40. I just want the coverage and, remember, Saratoga is the "graveyard of favorites"
Good luck today!
