Thursday’s Race Recap from Saratoga:
(All odds US)
Saratoga:
Race 1: 2nd@ 2.25/1
Race 2: 6th@ 15.50/1
Race 9: 1st@ 21.20/1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In Race 1, Virtual Reality got the first call of the Saratoga meet breaking beautifully and leading until mid-stretch when she was overhauled by Bustin Bay. She finished a filling second. In Race 2, Classy Mischief broke last and that’s not good news when you’re running 5 1/2 furlongs from the rail. She gained some ground late for sixth but never threatened. In Race 9, Becky’s Joker broke a bit slowly as she made her debut in this Grade 3 stake but quickly caught up to the front-runners while racing in behind horses early. Javier Castellano switched her to the 2-path turning for home and she drew off to win by 3 1/4 lengths at 21/1 odds! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I heard from MANY members both from the U.S. and abroad. Thanks for your kind words! Many of our European members locked in 27/1 odds so they got an even bigger windfall. Let’s try to get a few more of those before the meet is through.
We’re right back on Friday with more Saratoga racing. It poured upstate this evening so the turf races for Friday are up in the air at this point so I’m sticking to dirt. Let’s get to work.
Saratoga:
Race 4: Randomized - 2 pts win - BEST BET (US Morning Line Odds: 7/5)
The Wilton for three-year-old fillies racing is a mile on the main track. Randomized is a runner who won as our BEST BET back on March 31 and that day I thought a stakes win was in her future. She was thrown to the wolves in the Grade 1 Acorn and finished 6th but she should be better suited to today’s mile trip against slightly weaker. She also draws outside today and should sit the trip just off the speed.
Best of luck to all our members playing Friday’s races from Saratoga!
