Saratoga Stakes Saturday Snapshot set on August 20.
.
Saturday, August 20, 2022. Saratoga has an exciting card today with 3 stakes races, highlighted by the $600k Alabama G1 for 3yo fillies and preceded by a $105k MSW for 2yos. Tracks are fast and firm.
.
The excitement moves up a notch in the MSW at 3:52pm where 7 outstanding 2yo specimens will go 6.5f on dirt, with 5 of the top east coast trainers and of course the Ortiz brothers.
.
Take a look at the Grid snapshot here to follow along.
.
The Lake Placid G2 has some of the top 3yo fillies going on turf, but there are only 6. Chad Brown trains an astounding 4 of the 6, but Charles Appleby trainee With the Moonlight is favored.
.
The Smart N Fancy stakes is next for older fillies in a 5.5 turf sprint, in a 9 horse field that’s wide open, with no clear favorite. In these type of races, I like to go with the top speed, Robin Sparkles at 6-1. 2nd in EP is a turf first timer Sarah Harper at 12-1.
.
The Alabama G1 for 3yo fillies has a strong field of 7, but it’s difficult to envision Todd’s 1-2 favorite Nest not winning. Gerrymander and Secret Oath are the only others that can beat her.
