Featured Track/Race:   Saratoga – Race 6 
   
Race overview:  A solid MSW for 2yo fillies routing 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf. 
   
Pace:  There are several firsters and horses stretching out, while also facing a first turn for the first time, so things should be honest, if not on a bit hot, early on. 
   
Trends:  We all know the nightmares of the turf over the course of the meet, so there’s not a ton to gleam over either turf courses. 
   
Best Play:  #8 LAMORNA (7-2) (turf only): Mott runner had plenty of trouble on debut yet ran on to be 4th, for a barn that rarely has them cranked, so with clear sailing and expected improvement, she may be too much for this group to handle. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the middle Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. 
   
POD/Meet Stats:  Sar Meet Overall (through 8/13): 241-55-49-40 ($1.65/$4.98) 

Sar POD (through 8/13): 20-3-4-2 ($1.31 /$3.72)
