Day 28 At Saratoga — It’s A Big “Closeout” Sale On Travers Day (8/29)

Aug 29th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Saratoga, Today’s Picks

Sloppy and soft at Travers Day with races 1, 5 and 13 off the turf.  My big plays today will be horses who have run well on soft turf and I will list a few horses if any other race is switched to the main track.

In race 9, The Ballaston Spa, Closeout (#3) can post the upset in this competitve turf event.  She runs her best on off turf and can stay close enough to the pace and get up in time.  I’m boxing her in exactas with Captain’s Lover (#6) and My Princess Jess (#2) and using in doubles and pick 3’s.

In race 6, Valtrus (#5) also likes soft turf and can post the upset at a decent price.  I using her in exacta boxes with Big Jerome (#8) and Picou (#1) and in doubles and pick 3’s.

In The Travers (race #12), Warrior’s Reward (#3) may be a super horse in the slop.  I’m using him and Summer Bird (#6) in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
