Today will be my last day of handicapping the New York track for the summer, with action returning to Churchill next week, Oaks, Derby and all that -- I'll concentrate on Kentucky.
A challenging card, though, at Saratoga today with three Grade I races, beginning with Race 7.
RACE 7 -- AMSTERDAM STAKES -- GI -- 150K -- SIX FURLONGS
3 -- LONG WEEKEND
2 -- YAUPON
1 -- BASIN
4 -- PREMIER STAR
(ALSO CONSIDER #5WONDRWHERECRAIGIS)
RACE 8 -- FOREGO STAKES -- GI -- 300K -- SEVEN FURLONGS
2 -- WHITMORE
4 -- FUNNY GUY
11 -- MIND CONTROL
8 -- FIRENZE FIRE
(ALSO CONSIDER #3 LEXITONIAN AND #11 FORTIN HILL)
RACE 9 -- SWORD DANCER STAKES -- GI -- 500K -- 1-1/2 MILES (TURF)

The play:
It would be a VERY expensive Pick 5 sequence, but will probably pay huge if you hit it. I'm way up on the track for the meet, but I experimented with a .50 cent Pick 5 and it cost over $1000! I'm probably going to just venture a couple of Pick 3's -- Races 7,8,9 and then Races 9,10,11. Need to save some money for Derby Week, you know... Play 'em anyway you like!
Next week -- DERBY WEEK -- I'll be quite busy here on the site -- giving you key races to consider on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurby, Oaks and Derby. Be sure to check backthose five days!
