Mark Hoffman's Saratoga selections - day #35 (9/1) : Record 97-332 $685.70
Race #1
King Andrew - just missed last time out at this level, a preview race of things to come when NYRA heads back downstate.
Ramsgate - just got up in time last start in non-winners of 1 in a year condition, back to straight claimers today.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Surfing Ian - Felinefelon
Race #2
Pletcher (entry) - two for the price of one in this 35k claimer both for Repole Stable as Todd tries to wrap up the 2010 Saratoga training title.
Major Molly - But meanwhile, Linda Rice makes a late charge to catch him in defending her title from last year with this runner.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Salsa Bullet - Blessed Moon
Race #3
Flourish - rallied going shorter in last start, looks like graduation day in this marathon event.
Deceive - even effort racing 2nd all the way around the track last time out, famous trainer was a longshot winner on Sunday afternoon!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Up in Lights - Mitigate
Race #4
Regal Ransom - my Kentucky Derby selection from 2009 makes second start of a layoff, has the speed to take these wire to wire.
Cool Coal Man - consistent as they come for Nick Zito, has bullet work for today's start.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Giant Moon - Bad Action
Race #5
Peat Bay - 2nd best turf sprinting as the lukewarm favorite in last start, stretches out to a mile today.
Naughty You - rallied for 2nd also in last start going this distance, tough to separate these two picks.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Arr Pirates Booty - Stroke
Race #6
Run to Grand Ave. - sharp winner in N2L / 10k claimer last time out, fits well in this beaten claimers spot.
Talk to Nick - drops in class after showing speed versus slightly richer in last, dangerous from the rail.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Dance Floor Maniac - Devilish Due
Race #7
Obviously Tuesday - obviously a day late with this one.......but, it is Linda Rice with a first time, statebred on the grass!
Really Boring - a Matz first time starter from the outside, watch the board.
Exotic & multi-race runners : Precious Metal - Power Dreams
Race #8
Lauren Byrd - was flying late while breaking maiden in turf sprint downstate, should love the added distance today.
Arch Support - wire to wire as the favorite first time turf route in maiden breaker, the one to catch here?
Exotic & multi-race runners : Kathmanblu - Dos Luna
Race #9
Winthrop House - rallied in last start at same distance & class, turns the tables today versus same group.
Matt's a Giant - defeated top pick at 13-1 last time out with a better trip, won't see that price on him today!
Exotic & multi-race runners : Crowned General - Sly
Race #10
Eldokori - nearly stole the race last time out getting caught late, can wire this group today.
The Roundhouse - disappointed in last start, my old friend tries the weeds today & I MUST pick him :)
