| Race Date | August 22, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 9 |
| Overview | An extremely strong renewal of the Summer Colony, as five of the six entered are stakes winners. |
| Pace | It should be honest, with #2 and #4 ensuring an honest clip, and #6 GOLD SPIRIT (5-2) won’t be too far back. |
| Trends | The main track has played very kindly to speed going long throughout the meet, and you need to be close entering the far turn to have a realistic chance. |
| Best Bet | GOLD SPIRIT |
| Number | 6 |
| Morning Line | (5-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #6 GOLD SPIRIT (5-2): Chilean-bred was a group 1 winner in her native country and was a solid enough 4th in the local G3 Shuvee last time, off what was a December layoff, and with this outside attack post off that tightener, and a potential speed duel to her inside, she figures primed here. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
