Among the many appealing characteristics of the Saratoga meet is the convergence of horse talent from different regions. Nearly every day horseplayers must weigh the merits of horses that last raced in Kentucky, New York, Delaware, and Maryland – in addition to the regular base of New York runners. On still other occasions, horses invade from California or from Canada. Despite the strength of the home team, these shippers can prove formidable. This was on display opening week when Canadian raider Mr Havercamp won the Grade 3 Forbidden Apple, and California shipper Comical won the Grade 3 Schuylerville. Comical’s victory was particularly noteworthy because it came in the 2-year-old division, which highlights some of racing’s eventual stars. Though she may not make a return appearance at Saratoga this summer – the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante is a possible goal, per her West Coast-based connections – there will be plenty of other exciting juveniles ready to join the stakes fray at Saratoga in the weeks ahead. Below are a number of 2-year-olds that I am excited to watch, and if they land in the right spots, potentially bet. Let’s start in the 2-year-old filly division. Here, a couple of runners from the recently concluded Churchill Downs meet look like they are of graded quality: Frank’s Rockette and Magic Dance. Frank’s Rockette, a daughter of Into Mischief, was an eye-catching winner of her only start June 21 at Churchill for trainer Bill Mott. Stalking the pace under Julien Leparoux, she glided up to engage the leading duo in the five-furlong race and drew off for an 8 3/4-length victory. Her sparkling time of 57.27 seconds earned her a 75 Beyer Speed Figure. :: Get PPs, Clocker Reports, picks, and more from DRF's Saratoga/Del Mar One-Stop Shop Since the conclusion of Churchill, she has worked twice at Saratoga over the Oklahoma training track, covering three furlongs in 37.10 seconds July 8 and then a half-mile in 49.49 seconds on Monday. She seems a logical candidate at Saratoga for the Grade 2 Adirondack Aug. 4 or the Grade 1 Spinaway Sept. 1. Magic Dance, who is 2 for 2 and already a stakes winner for Steve Asmussen, is likely to target one or both of those races as well. An April foal by More Than Ready, she won a key maiden race June 7 at Churchill, posting an 84 Beyer, before earning a 76 for winning the Debutante on June 29 late in the Churchill meet. Though the Debutante is no longer a graded race, its competitors command respect. Last year’s winner, Restless Rider, ran second in last year’s Spinaway and later became a Grade 1 winner by taking the Alcibiades. The extended sprint distances of these upcoming stakes would appear to suit the styles of both Frank’s Rockette and Magic Dance, as it should Kiss the Girl, who was hitting her best stride late when rallying for second in the Schuylerville. Within the 2-year-old male ranks, there is no shortage of depth. Green Light Go, Long Weekend, Took Charge, and Tuggle are four promising runners that have recorded breezes at Saratoga after scoring sharp maiden victories Green Light Go was the fastest on numbers of that crew, earning an 84 Beyer for a win on the Fourth of July at Belmont. A son of Hard Spun, he followed that race with a three-furlong move at Saratoga on Monday for trainer Jimmy Jerkens. A 2-year-old colt unveiled last month at Churchill, Noose, merits attention, whether he shows up next at Saratoga or elsewhere. His trainer, Eddie Kenneally, won the Sanford with By Your Side. Although Noose’s Beyer for winning a maiden race June 28 at Churchill was modest, a 69, everything else about that race suggested he is of eventual stakes quality. Away toward the back of a 12-horse field, he advanced rapidly into fourth down the backstretch and proceeded to dominate his rivals. Hard held behind horses on the fence, he slipped up the inside, showing courage to rally in close proximity to the inner rail, and drew away to win a six-furlong race by five lengths. He then proceeded to gallop out like a horse who will appreciate more distance.
