The Woodward will be the race of the week. It should be up in an hour or so.

Big Top for Mucho Macho in last. And a lot of development since.last year. A caring loving Trainer but somebody who isnt exactly Charlie Wittingham or Richard Mandella with an real good.older Colt.

The Live Longshot looks interesting. A decent amount.of underperforming dead wood in here but a couple.of them do like Saratoga.

The Exacta recommended may be the only way to go. The other option is to pass. With two days left at Saratoga cant aee that happening.....lol

A lot of development since last yr, but not really since 2yo season. And from 2 to 4 his sire averages a 5.50 point grow. He actually could have more in him.

Granted probably not going to see that today. Gotta think at least a small bounce coming...although as I look at her trainer profile, after a new top she\'s 54% to at least run a pair (small sample size warning of course).

To that point about room to grow from 2 to 4 on the sire side - check out TH&S.  Wow. If he ever hits his number he\'ll be running a -6. These Bernardini\'s don\'t stop developing when they hit 3 do they.

Had to be a little bounce Phil. Ms Ritvo had her horse ready but this was unchartered water with this kind of horse.

I took a stab on a horse who had been favored in 6 of his last 7 races (BC Classic the one) and had a good effort over this track last yr. Good trip and good ride and the Cowardly Lion showed some heart in the lane and ot was a little lucky.
