Mark Hoffman's Saratoga selections - day #37 (9/3) : Record 105- 352 (732.30)

Race #1

Money's Sweet / Scale (entry) - I really like the first part of this Linda Rice entry better just missing at this same level last time out, other half goes from turf to dirt & drops from allowance ranks.

Idol Image - also goes from turf to dirt, drops from higher claimer & gets blinkers on today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Living for This - Zone Breaker

Race #2

Flying Train - Pletcher firster scratched from Wednesday for this spot today, entrymate ( Ready and Good ) ran 2nd in that race.

Thatgirl - got caught at the wire after clear long lead on a muddy sealed track in last start, improved big time with the addition of blinkers in last.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Nolita - Forest Whip

Race #3

Don't Forget Gil - classy NY bred meets statebreds for only second time and goes from turf to dirt with blinkers on, gets this needed class relief today.

Banker's Buy - sharp victory last time out at Belmont versus open company, main foe for top selection.

Exotic & multi-race selection : Big Brownie

Race #4

City Sneakers - drew into last race and went wire to wire from the far outside post, back in optional allowance claimer today.

Cookram Rock - won with a late charge last time out going a mile here, should enjoy the added distance today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Shekomeko Son - Tom Kitten

Race #5

Elusive Raven - half sister to Homer Winslow raced a even 2nd in debut while a lukewarm price on the board, gets a dry racing surface today.

Overseas Market - just missed as the even money favorite in debut at Monmouth, horse to beat from the rail today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Trufast - Indian Lilly

Race #6

Winter Memories - a daughter of the great Memories Of Silver makes her first start, with sire El Prado...... the turf breeding doesn't get better than this!

Litigating - never got running when stalled in traffic first time out turf sprinting, stretches out today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Buster's Ready - Town Flirt

Race #7

Indy Scent - ships in late from Ellis Park after no factor in handicap race, drops to this beaten claimer spot in NY debut.

Tripp O Steel - Arlington shipper also finds a good spot here after tiring late last time out as the favorite, wide open turf event.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Montana Knight - Bold Vindication

Race #8

Silver Medallion - got his nose on the wire in debut, 2nd place finisher in that race came back to break maiden last Saturday.

Typhoon Slew - ran off and hid second time on the weeds winning by over 10 lengths, dangerous speed from the inside post.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Powhatan County - Sensational Slam

Race #9

Ordination - sat the trip with stalking effort in last start tiring late, may be the pace setter today versus this group.

Silver Mountain - classy veteran gets much needed class relief, may wake up today.

Exotic & multi-race runners : Cheyenne Nation - Prince Will I Am
