TimeformUS Saratoga Horses in Focus for Saturday, Aug. 3, 2019

Race 2: Uncle Sigh (#7)
Was competitive at this level when in Chris Englehart’s barn last year.
Encountered trouble on the far turn last time as he was steadied when making a winning move.
Is apparently training well for this race, hence the confidence displayed by his connections.
6-1 on ML

Race 4: Coltandmississippi (#9)
Has actually run some of his best races on the turf, though that may not be apparent from his recent form.
Possesses good tactical speed, which is often needed going this distance on the inner course.
Jason Servis gets a 100 TimeformUS Trainer Rating first off the claim.
6-1 on ML

Race 7: Sacred Life (#5)
Should appreciate the chance to race over firm turf after encountering soft and heavy ground too often in France.
Should be effective going this distance after not responding too well to longer trips over the past year.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past 5 years, Chad Brown is 7 for 16 (44%, $3.25 ROI) with foreign shippers on the turf at Saratoga.
5-2 on ML

Race 8: Bellafina (#2)
Will certainly appreciate the turn-back in distance after being asked to run farther than she prefers on the Oaks trail.
Her Kentucky Oaks performance was not nearly as bad as it seems due to a rough trip.
Appears to be working very well for this return to the races.
2-1 on ML

Race 9: McKinzie (#6)
Would have won the Met Mile if not for trouble in the final quarter-mile.
Has earned some formidable TimeformUS Speed Figures going this nine-furlong distance.
Has been in excellent form since the spring and may be too tough for these if he merely maintains his condition.
7-5 on ML
