Saratoga: Thursday, 8/4, Plays - Pete's Picks

Writer: Little PeteLittle Pete

We have a nice 10 race card today at Saratoga on this HOT Thursday. We will be looking to cover each of the races and improve our bankroll heading into the weekend. I will be condensing my plays to just the numbers and looking to take down the early double (Races 1 & 2) as well as a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will have a pair of his "Plays of the Day" and will also be attacking the late pick 3 (Races 8-10). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:


(4) MILLEFEUILLE wasn’t dodging anyone last years as she danced with best 3yr old girls right up to the G1 Oaks. Then, something went wrong and she didn’t emerge until earlier this year. Mott was slow with her but I think she’s ready to start dancing again. Her last may have been a little too short so the 1M distance here fits better. She’s been burning money in all her starts this year so the 6:1 ML is too hard to pass up.


Either (2) W W Fitzy or (6) Boston Post Road can grab the 2nd spot.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Exacta 4 w/ 2, 6 Cost $ 14.00


We’ll also use (4) Millefeuille in R3 and try to cash a DAILY DOUBLE play.


We’ll use (1) Voice Of Spring and (6) Alpine Queen in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Double 4 w/ 1, 6 Cost $ 14.00



Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 4:


(1) VOICE OF SPRING has been facing slightly better in her last two tries. Both have also come on the turf. Today she switches back to dirt and faces a NW2L group that has been having a tough time getting that 3rd win. The switch to Saez and the rail draw should put her in a rail saving and stalking position.


(6) Alpine Queen gets Irad and (7) Raffinity drops in for a tag. Either one for 2nd.


$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Exacta 1 w/ 6, 7 Cost $ 14.00

 

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 8:


I guess you’re supposed to use Art Collector but hasn't he been awful on the come back trail? I’ll pass on him and hope he doesn’t resurrect himself. The new shooter is (6) MASQUEPARADE. Stall gave him some time off and he worked out the kinks to manage a 1st and 2nd at Churchill. They ship East in good form and Joel gets the leg up. A lot to like at 3:1 ML. Brown seems to have (1) MYSTIC NIGHT in a zone right now. Back to back wins and a cozy rail draw for Irad. They both need ART to be off his game still but it’s worth the shot.


$ 7.00 Ex 6 w/ 1, 2, 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1 w/ 2, 5, 6 Cost $ 9.00


Race 9:


(2) ATONE ran a winning race last time but City Man ran huge that day. If he Re-Pete’s that effort, he likely will get his picture taken today. I don’t mind the switch to Davis as Prat made other commitments. (5) FLORIFORM is interesting with Rosario. The tight turns may help turn the table on the long legged (1) EMARAATY, who just caught him last time. Both figure to be right there at the end. The way Castellano is riding this meet, I have to throw (6) BUY LAND AND SEE into the mix. He’s been 1st or 2nd in all four races this year and jogged against PA breds in his last. He’s worth the price.


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 2, 5 w/ 1, 2, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00



Race 10:


We’ll stay with the inside draw in this turf sprint. (2) MANDY GREEN will likely save ground and sit right behind the speeds early. If she finds daylight, she can upset the bunch. (1) STUCK ON KITTEN has been solid in two starts after the claim. His spped figures stack up well against this group. Saez switches to the Vancouver filly (3) R REPOSADO LOCA. She won first out in an off the turf MSW and closed well on the Tapeta at GP. I like the switch to grass as she flies in for a Spa treatment. (4) FREEDOMOFTHEPRESS wins most of her races to the 1/8th pole, she just can’t finish. Maybe the slight cutback to 5.5F does the trick.


$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00
