With heavy weather coming into SARATOGA on Thursday night, the racing was Sloppy on the main track while the skies were sunny.   I am expecting things to dry out by tomorrow and the track might have a listing of “good”.  The turf course wasn’t too sluggish on Friday so those course should be rated “good” as well and hopefully all the races can be run as scheduled…

Del Mar showed off some potential stars on Wednesday, with Suggestive Boy and Lakerville showing explosive late speed with scintillating stretch runs.  (That’s as much alliteration as I am likely to use.)    As for selections, the play at Saratoga was terrific with my 6/1 key horse  Free Brave running a beautiful 2nd to my main exotic turn, Fisherman’s Wharf.  On the Power Page they were rated 1st and 2nd or should I say 2nd and first producing a fabulous $44.00 payoff for a $2.00 wager… In truth this is a tricky time of the year, so it’s important to be able to pick your spots for another week or so.  Then we will be having some real good reads for those horses that have traveled over Saratoga and Del Mar….

Video Handicapping schedule for this week is Friday at Del Mar and Sunday at Saratoga…
