Litfin: How I'd play Saratoga for Monday, Sept. 7

Consistent with our methodology throughout the Saratoga meeting, we will construct personal betting lines for our top three or four contenders in each race, and focus solely on horses that are going off at odds higher than our line. Last Monday’s highlight came when Proven Commodity went to the post as a significant overlay and recorded a wire-to-wire victory, paying $17.40.
