Saratoga July 29

Travel day for me. I’m on my way to the Haskell at Monmouth so just an abbreviated set of picks today.

Race 1. Mesojet is 8-1 ML and isn’t likely to get bet much below that with Noble and True in the race. A few positives on the horse. First, he drops from MSW to claimers for this race. Second, you can pitch his last race since he never broke or got into it. Prior to that he had a closing second on a sloppy track at Pimlico that gave him a competitive figure. Third, he gets Jose Ortiz as the pilot and that is a big positive.

Race 2. Sneaky Fudge Face is 10-1 ML. She’s dropping from MSW to the claiming ranks after showing speed at seven furlongs downstate. She should enjoy the cutback in distance.

Race5. Three to Thirteen makes a few changes today. He puts blinkers on  and has been gelded since his last. He picks up Irad for the mount.
