Selections will be posted between 8:00AM and 9:00AM every racing day and will be updated- if needed- after the scratches and track conditions are announced. Your subscription starts on the day your payment is processed. Subscriptions expire at 11:59PM on the last day of your subscription.
NOTE: It is highly suggested to check back after track conditions and scratches are announced, as the changes could have a major impact on the plays. Once the changes are announced, there could be omissions of some plays. Turf plays are only to be played if the race remains on the turf unless otherwise noted in the finalized updated selection sheet between 11:30AM-12:30PM.
Recommended wagering strategy for spot plays- A win wager and place (if price necessitates) on all spot plays. If playing exactas, spreading out in exacta boxes with the spot play horse is suggested. All other wagers such as trifectas, superfectas and multi- race wagers are entirely up to the individual player.
PLEASE VERIFY PROGRAM NUMBERS BEFORE WAGERING
SARATOGA - MONDAY - 9/6/10
Race 2- Turf Only
8- BILLIONS BOY- Was a sharp winner of his maiden score when wiring the field in first try going long on closing day here last year. Battled on the front end before faltering badly in the final quarter in subsequent start in the Grade 3 Bourbon at Keeneland in October and hasn't been seen since. Makes first start for Dutrow, Jr. in his return today and still has some upside to him. Can return firing big this afternoon.

Race 3
2- SISTER BERTA- Ran an okay 3rd in career debut on dirt against state bred sp. wts. at Aqueduct in April before trying the turf in her second start where she showed little. Took money when put on the dirt again for her third start and raced close up on the inside before lacking a finishing rally against sp. wt. mdns. at Colonial 6/7. Was stretched out in her next two while returned to the turf and showed very little before going back to the dirt at this 20k state bred mdn. claiming level where she showed little interest 8/20. Has shown enough in two of her three dirt starts to suggest that she can factor with this kind and the addition of blinkers could be enough to wake this filly up in this very soft spot today.

Race 6- Turf Only
8- WILLY PAY- Took alot of money early on before drifting up a bit in his career debut where he moved into a hot pace on the turn and then needed more in the final furlong-- while running a bit greenly-- when finishing a close 5th 8/13. Should have gotten what he needed from that race and an expected forward move off that race will make him tough to beat today.

Race 7
7- SOCIAL VINDICATION- Vindication filly makes her debut going seven-eighths for McLaughlin. Is expected to be able to step and she wouldn't surprise many if she is getting her picture taken following this race somewhere at about 4:15PM this afternoon.

A- 1- Sovereign Crisis, 9- Centring
B- 8- Come a Callin
Race 8- Turf Only
3- IN YOUR DREAMS- Had what appeared to be a nice inside trip when finishing a close 4th in the N.Y. Stallion 8/12. However, this filly wants to get off the inside when it's time for the real running to start as she doesn't exert herself to the fullest when down inside through the stretch run. Still like the way she won her turf debut at Aqueduct when tracking in the two path before taking over with a quick move on the turn and then winning off as much the best. Have backed her in her last four since then and obviously she has disappointed. However, I will give her one last shot today and expect that Maragh learned something about her in her last. Has the ability to win this and the right trip will put her there.

A- 5- Frivolous Buck, 10- Tutti Va Bene
B- 4- Gitchee Goomie
Race 11- Turf Only
8- MALIBU RHYTHM- Makes career debut going long on the turf for Howard. Should have some talent and the fact that the barn sends him long for his debut indicates to me that they mean business right out of the box today. Is expected to be ready to fire and can factor strongly in the meets finale.
