TimeformUS Saratoga Horses in Focus for Sunday, July 14, 2019
Race 1: Miss Marissa (#7)
Took money in her debut and ran to the support in a solid second-place finish.
Should improve with turf and added distance since she hails from a stamina-oriented grass family.
Will go off at a bigger price than she really should due to the low-profile trainer.
4-1 on ML
Race 3: Wild Boar (#2)
Showed some ability on dirt last year and has a right to run a faster speed figure as a 3-year-old.
His dam was clearly best on turf, and he’s by the good turf sire Tale of the Cat.
DRF Formulator Fact: John Kimmel is 5 for 25 ($6.64 ROI) with maidens trying turf for the first time over the past five years.

Race 6: Cheatam Hill (#2)
Showed flashes of ability over the winter, and it’s interesting that Jason Servis immediately puts her on turf upon her return.
Her sire, Bellamy Road, is not the greatest turf influence, but her dam’s best foal is the two-time turf winner Vip Nation.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Servis is 6 for 25 (24%, $2.29 ROI) with horses trying turf for the first time in routes.
