Saratoga 08/31

[Lost Cause]

It looks like a tough day @ Saratoga today,
Anybody see anything good to play...
The only single I have confidence in for the day is the 5 in the 4th and he will be 1 to 9..
In the \"feature\" I like the 5 and 8 but that race is a 2 YO turf race so who knows what will happen..5 improved in 2nd race with Front bandages off (probably was not ready for debut), the 8 ran green in last and still won, if he straightens out should be tough.

Lost,

Hard to believe that Tricky dropped Mike\'s Dream Team into a claimer off that good effort in a MSW race in last.Claim me, red flag??

I assume you see that the feature is a mix of 2yr old fillies and colts but at this time of year there are those who believe the fillies are more developed.I like Sherine to trip out.

Good Luck
Mike

I agree that you should proceed with caution on \"Mike\'s Dream Team.\"  The owners paid 180,000 for him and after a very promising first start (4th by 2 lengths in a field of 13 MSW and a Beyer of 78) they drop him into a Maiden 65 Claimer.  Will they take that kind of a loss just to get their picture taken???  The RED FLAGS should be up.  Current odds 3/2.  Caveat emptor!

Mike\'s Dream Team finished 3rd at 6/5.  Anything that seems too good to be true, is, at least in horse racing.

Yeah i saw that too - so much for my early  P - 4 ...

He had first time front bandages on also, a kiss of death on most occasions.

miff -  i\'m  going to circle that one from now on  . I like Stahed Away in the 5th ...

MicD:

Even though the disclosure of proprietary TG information should only be done on
a limited basis and only when necessary, I am sure that the TG stewards have
noticed your reference to a performance figure taken from another publication
without any disclaimer (ie, \"... for what its worth, the horse was given a 78
Beyer...\").

That being said, I have avoided Dutrow droppers religiously over the years (no
value).

Having only looked at DRF at this point, I think the man Miff calls
\"Tricky\" has an upset chance in Saturday\'s Forego coming off a troubled trip.

[marcus]

A \"Bull\" story ?  Might be something to that  - I like it ... Where you figure he goes off in the odds  ... It took him a couple at 4 yo  before geting to the old top , or new one . But in a context of those last 3 ( or 4 ) races , IMO - He looks impressive ...

Marcus:

...it doesn\'t hurt that Tricky flies in Mark Guidry, who has had some success on
this runner in the past...
