Day 4 At Saratoga – Picou “Piques” My Interest & Pletcher May Get His First (8/1)
Aug 1st, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Saratoga, Today’s PicksFast and good today at Saratoga with only race 2 off the turf. Looks like Mother Nature is cooperating — which is great because it’s hard enough dealing with the dragon on a daily basis! In race 7, a competitive allowance on the turf, Picou (#4) comes back off an extended layoff but runs well fresh and will love a soft course! I will box him with Winchester (#8) and Sette Mezzo (#12) in exactas and play around in doubles and pick 3’s.
In race 11, Hype (#1) can live up to his name and give trainer Todd Pletcher his first win at the meet! I’m boxing with Stevil (#8) and Key Victory (#7) and also playing in doubles and pick 3’s.
Today is the start of my personal battle with my buddy Brian, a great handicapper in his own right. Let the best man win! Here’s the entire card and good luck!
