Mark Hoffman's Saratoga selections - day #11 (8/4) - Record (33-97) $208.30


Race #1

Uncle Pat - is the choice here if rained off the turf, wire to wire in sloppy maiden breaker last time out.

Barrel of Love - stretches out after closing late in turf sprint maiden breaker downstate, should relish the mile distance.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Tom Kitten - Abilio

Race #2

Fiscal Stimulus - 2nd best with even effort first time weeds, edge here.

Coach Billy G. - Kentucky shipper showed speed on the Turfway polytrack last Fall, trainer has good numbers with this move (synthetic to grass)

Exotic & multi-race runners - Ender's Universe - Holiday Ballad

Race #3

Kid Kate - weaken late versus tougher going longer in last start at Belmont , winner of off-the-turf event here last year.

Hit It Rich - throw out last on the grass with rough trip, solid dirt efforts otherwise.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Proclaim - North Rodeo

Race #4

Bug Juice - chased the winner in debut holding well late, graduates today.

Seek to Destroy - Finger Lakes shipper comes in with bullet works from there, crafty trainer.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Mr. Ames - Bound by Humor

Race #5

Go Go Pink - obviously the one here with the best; turf form, trainer / jockey combo and has speed, definitely the "one to beat"!

Speed Dating - drops from statebreds to this spot, may flash speed also.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Silvercup Baby - Daily Star


Race #6

Runweiser - wire to wire in maiden breaker second start out, doesn't meet any world beaters today in this race.

Redwood Fever - compromised by far outside post in race over the track, trainer switch today & blinkers off.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Renewed Hope - Seis de Mayo

Race #7

Convocation - been knocking heads with much better runners last three starts, well spotted here.

Masala - shows a 2nd and 3rd at this level in last two starts, figures again here.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Midnight Mischief - Odds On

Race #8

Keertana - closed last time out in stake at Churchill Downs, puts in honest effort every time out.

Daveron - weakened late going longer downstate, may have had the "euro-bounce" effort in that race.

Exotic & mulit-race runners : My Baby Baby - Miss Catalyst

Race #9

System Ready - goes to the weeds and stretches out for tough connections.

Nolangrant'skitten - another Kitten's Joy firster from you know who!

Exotic & multi-race runners : War Winds - Forum



Hoffy's "HORSE TO BEAT" play of the day (4-9) - Go Go Pink (5th)
