Chancer McPatrick looked marvelous. Bet down to 2-to-1 but for a first timer, sweetness.Saturday at Saratoga...
Race 7
- Chancer McPatrick seems like value at 4-to-1. With Flavien Prat riding for Chad Brown, a $725,000 price tag and a solid final prep workout, this $100,000 MSW dirt race is of particular interest.
- Invictus (Florent Geroux/Brad Cox) rides the inside post with $1.2 million purchase.
- American Promise, a $750,000 Justify baby is 20-to-1 as Hall of Famer Wayne Lukas has a poor record with first-timers: under 7% lifetime.
- Uncle Mo, Gun Runner, Justify, Quality Road are among the high-profiled sires
- Todd Pletcher, Wayne Lukas, Bill Mott, Steve Asmussen, Chad Brown and Brad Cox are among the trainers.
Race 6
- Skelly, the superstar of Oaklawn (AR) with eight straight wins there, runs in the Grade I Vanderbilt (race 6). He is 16 10-5-0 lifetime with wins in nine of his past 11 starts.
