Welcome to what was opening day back when Saratoga was The August Place to Be. There are four weeks and 24 racing days remaining, and we already have 16 days and 161 races in the books this summer.
DRF handicapper Dan Illman looks at Saratoga's juvenile races.
Three weeks into Del Mar (14 racing days), pick-six carryovers are routine. The pick six has carried six times, including a $195,206 carryover to Wednesday.
In the fourth race, I’m going to use the experienced runners as Ticketmaker ‘A’ plays. #4 THIRTYSILVERPIECES ran into a buzz saw in his debut and now gets class relief, dropping into a maiden claimer for Wesley Ward. #6 DINNER TIME didn’t do much running at Belmont but has some pedigree and is expected to take a step forward for an underrated trainer.
There is a massive pick six carryover of more than $195,000 into Wednesday’s card, and I’ll take a stab at it.
