Let's enjoy the great racing that Saratoga brings and try to make some money in the process. I will be condensing my plays down to just the number and attacking the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and 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 4:
Both Ouster and Costa Terra get what they want as the race switches to the dirt. But both have just cleared the NW1$X level and technically move up in class. With this watered down field coming off the turf, this may not be that much of a hike. With Trident Hit providing some pressure on the above two, I want to try and beat them all with the Classic Empire colt (4) CLASSIC CATCH. He's been facing much better and the farther the better. I can't see getting 4:1ML but one can only hope. Prat joining the party only helps.
I’ll use (8) Ouster and (9) Costa Terra in the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 8, 9 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (4) Classic Catch in R4 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(1) Lady Prospect or (8) Echo Lake in the 5th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 1, 8 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(3) RAGING SEA will get all the attention but I'll be honest, the works aren't all that impressive. Her speed figures from last year are ok but she has to show up. I'll use defensively and try to beat her with (1) INTO HAPPINESS. This filly comes in with back to back wins with one of them on this surface. There's plenty of speed up front for her late kick. She'll just need Raging to be a bit short on her return. Worth the 6:1ML on Johnny V. The wise gal in this bunch is (5) PHAROAH'S HEART. She has speed to be dangerous if they leave her alone. Moving back to the dirt is the right move.
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 5.00 Ex 1, 3 w/ 1, 3, 5 Cost $ 20.00
Race 9:
(2) SUNSET LOUISE has been on a roll lately. She is possible lone speed and Saez knows how to use it. She'll be short odds but looks like the winner on paper. We'll lean heavy on her and look for some value to come late. (6) TIMELESS JOURNEY shows up ever now and then. The 1M distance probably fits her the best. She'll get first jump an the other closer (3) KNOW IT ALL AUDREY has some races that match up well here. The 1M fits her style well and Castellano has been known to wake some runners up lately.
$ 10.00 Ex 2 w/ 3, 6 Cost $ 20.00
$ 3.00 Ex 3, 6 w/ 2, 3, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
(8) LT MITCHELL now becomes the main speed. With a few major scratches, this one becomes the horse to beat. He faced the tough Bourbon Chase last time under similar conditions but this field doesn't look as strong as that one. Lezcano can dish out some easy fractions and take them all the way. (14) REFUAH will try once again but usuallly picks up checks. His day will come soon, maybe it's today?? (1) MORETHANAFEELING becomes a player with his speed and figures to save some ground. The surface switch shouldn't matter.
