Saratoga Race 8 Shuvee Stakes Grade 2

4 Scottish Lassie returned in style of a 9 month hiatus to dominate a small field of Allowance/Optional foes by over 8-lengths. This classy Grade 1 winning Filly has won his last two starts here at the Spa by a combined 23 lenths. Top Pick

3 Fully Subscribed  was no match for Nitrogen recently in the Grade 1 Odgen Phipps but not many Fillies are. This Gal fits well here. Filly is lightly raced and has never finished off the board in 7 career outings. She’s a Grade 2 winner and gets superstar jockey Flavien Prat in the irons today. Win Contender

5 Bless the Broken has competed well in 3 straight Grade 1.’s. Filly just seems a cut below the top 2. Use Underneath 

Selections 4-3-5-1

Saratoga Race 9 Rick Violette Stakes

2 Voodoo Doll is unbeaten in lifetime starts, makes his third start of the form cycle and just defeated open-company in his last start. Colt was game as they come last out when going gate-to-wire while being pressured throughout. I love this ones chances here in this Stakes for New York Breds. Top Pick

6 A Little At First comesoff a career top when defeating Statebred Allowance company at the Spa back on June 3rd. Gelding sports the best turf speed figures of this group, gets an upgrade in the jockey department and has been working well for his return. Win Contender 

3 Newlyn returned from a 7-month layoff and ran respectable 4th when taking on winners for the first time. A step forward today puts this 10-1 shot in the mix at the wire. Live Longshot 

Selections 2-6-3-7

Del Mar Race 7 Fleet Treat Stakes

8 Mohaven has won 3 of his last 4 races in these local Stakes for Cal Breds. Colt is a  versatile runner. He’s training exceptionally since dominating Cal Breds back on May 23rd. He’s your likely winner and deserving favorite. Top Pick

6 She’s No Quant broke her maiden last out on her 4th try. Filly has won back-to-back races hilighted by a career best effort on the turf last month, clocking in with a 88 turf Bris number. She tries the main track for the first time today. If she takes to the surface switch, she could poise a problem for the favorite Win Contender 

5 Troisieme Etoile exits off a confidence building win on the dirt at Los Altimitos. The red hot Umbert Rispoli rides. Don’t Ignore 

Selections 8-6-5-9
