Mark Hoffman's Saratoga selections - day #34 (8/30) : Record 95 -322 ($668.40)


Race #1

Insightful - basically is the top selection here by default in simply dreadful race, blinkers on versus easiest group he'll ever face!

We Get It - turf to dirt coming off short layoff, best of the "rest" ? here.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Rotten to the Core / Smooth Transition (entry)

Race #2

Grand Terror - 2nd best again on a muddy sealed surface last time out, just may get there today!

Dare to Love - improved a bit when switched to dirt in last start, blinkers off & key jockey switch today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Hasten to Be King - Corrao

Race #3

Bandit Lady - a first time starter from Rick Dutrow, watch the board.

Salty Little Sis - another debut runner, the Barclay Tagg barn has been a bit "cold" this meet.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Turn the Paige - Sultrysilver

Race #4

Harmonizer - got outfinished in last start at this level by last to first winner, has lots of speed to chase down today!

D' bigcat - stepping up seeks third straight victory in a row here at the Spa, will be leading from tricky inside post.

Exotic & multi-race runners : In Just We Trust - Fastus Cactus

Race #5

Deanaallen'skitten - caught late going a sixteenth of a mile shorter last time out at this level, maybe today?

National Gallery - set the pace versus slightly richer in last start here, drops again.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Truth Will Tell - Cranberry Queen

Race #6

Avenging Spirit - pace setter in last two starts on the weeds at Belmont going longer, bullet turf work here & turns back to a sprint today.

Inspired - no factor in debut for Mott, improves with 2nd career go around today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Total Package - Ready's Vision

Race #7

Keith's Kitten - much like stablemate in the 5th race......got caught late in 25k maiden level, only this is older filly & mares.

Atavistique - drops into maiden claimer and tries the weeds for trainer who has good stats with this type move.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Chantilly G. - Clap Hands

Race #8

Strong Impact - just missed last time out at this level, slight edge versus group of hard hitting statebred runners.

Mighty Tuff - impressive last close winning versus straight allowance NW1 statebreds in last start, logical next step here.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Mor Chances - Mustang Island

Race #9

Masala - even efforts going a mile downstate at this level, should get good stalking trip.

National Pride - coming off March layoff last seen setting the pace in the Stymie Handicap, drops to this optional claimer today and will be tough if ready!

Exotic & multi-race runners : Glenwood Canyon - Ruffino

Race #10

Mystic City - weakened late at this level last time out, back with Maragh in the irons today.

Loyal Shadow - turns back to a turf sprint after taking the overland route going a distance in restricted statebred stake last time out, may surprise at a price today!

Exotic & multi-race runners : Bobity Boo - We Need VLT's
