I\'m going to take a reach here.

Laranger Native has sprint pedigree for sure and some ugly route numbers but there was nothing wrong with a 4 in his second start at 2 and he ran right back to it after a 4 month break. A turf race, sloppy track and then back to a 5, 6 weeks rest, speed and getting weight. How much weight to be determined but there are no world beaters in here ?

A 2 or 3 wins this race so why not take a shot for a breakthrough at 20/1 or more ? I\'ll make and exacta and tri box with the selections of Rush Now & Infrattini.

Likely thunder storms at the Spa this afternoon, evening and tomorrow so I\'m passing on any Saratoga picks in a very tough Whitney & De Le Rose.

Good luck,

FD

All due respect but I can\'t see Loranger Native stretching out from 7f to 1 1/8 while being sired by the speedy Good and Tough.

Mountaineer plays towards speed and has been rock hard lately.  The catch is they are talking about Thunderstorms rolling in this afternoon.  In both cases I like Rush Now, getting 6 lbs, speed of the race, 2nd off the layoff, and owns the fastest figure.  His return from the layoff is competitive, a return to his top or a new top should win here.  Hoping to get him around his morning line of 6/1.

If rain comes I\'ll use Von Hemel\'s and Drysdale\'s horses with Rush Now since both are bred to love a wet track.
