BreezeFigs Quick-Pix Saturday, August 29, 2020 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

When our first choice in the Saratoga leg was scratched our “MTO save” Ampersand blew the doors off to score at a generous $5.40. That set up a modest parlay, if you will, with Princess Noor at Del Mar who also won cleverly but paid only $3.40. Such are the vagaries of the pari-mutuel life, but at least we scored out. Otherwise it was a quiet week all around on the BreezeFigs front with three other juveniles breaking their maidens—one on the same Saratoga card and two at Gulfstream.

Weekend GamePlan for Aug. 29, 2020: Picks for Sword Dancer, Forego, Amsterdam

Barbara D. Livingston
Channel Maker will benefit if the turf at Saratoga is yielding or soft on Saturday.

A limited national stakes menu and the chance for heavy rain at Saratoga tamp down excitement for Saturday racing across North America. Take heart: We’re one week away from the Kentucky Derby and an avalanche of high-class racing in New York and Kentucky. As for this week, the SoCal sprinters look as inscrutable as ever, so it’s a hard pass on the Pat O’Brien, while the Ontario Colleen at Woodbine has a short field. We’ll stick to (possibly) soggy Saratoga, instead.
