Saratoga | Race 3 | 2:18 pm ET
#2 In the Dark (7-2 morning line odds) comes out of a debut second at Monmouth, where turf sprint racing historically is underrated around the country. Negotiating a tricky rail draw professionally in that first start, and was second-best to a fellow rookie who was bet to favoritism and well-meant. Elite turf sprint jockey Joel Rosario takes the mount, a plus at this trip.
Win bet #2.
Saratoga | Race 6 | 4:02 pm ET
#2 Belgian (8-1 morning line odds) represents a George Weaver barn that’s been the most profitable in America with 2-year-old first-time starters in turf sprints the past decade. He’s won 24% from nearly 70 starters with a $1.66 ROI for every $1 bet (including 2-for-4 at the current Saratoga meet ($5.60, $13.40 winners).
Win-place bet #2.
