TimeformUS Saratoga Horses in Focus for Sunday, Sept. 1, 2019

Race 1: More Thunder (#5)

Goldencents wins with 18 percent of his turf progeny, according to DRF Sire Stats.

His dam wasn’t a great turf horse, but she was arguably best on this surface.

DRF Formulator Fact: Steve Klesaris is 7 for 27 (26 percent, $3.39 ROI) with second-time starting maidens over five years.

9-2 on ML

Race 4: I’llhandalthecash (#8)

Ran well when using stalking tactics two back, beating the same horse that My Galina defeated in her debut.

Did well to lead them into the last furlong last time in a race that fell apart in the late stages.

Should work out a great trip sitting just off the three speeds in here.

3-1 on ML

Race 8: Day Dayenu (#1)

Is bred to be precocious as a daughter of Into Mischief, and she’s out of multiple stakes-winning dam.

Has looked very good in some recent workouts, building upon her impressive sales workout from March.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Jorge Abreu is 5 for 11 (45%, $4.34 ROI) with first-time starters on the dirt.

7-2 on ML

Race 11: Risky Mischief (#6)

Was impressive in her debut, setting a fast pace after breaking a step slowly from the rail.

It’s a good sign to see Jose Ortiz stay here in a race where he clearly had other options.

Is drawn well outside of her main pace rival Mundaye Call.

6-1 on ML
