Saratoga | Race 2 | 1:42 pm ET
#6 Cadenza (4-1 morning line odds) never got a breather from the rail in her debut in a big field. Showed some run before succumbing as the favorite. Damside pedigree is all grass and synthetic success and should like the surface change. Brad Cox barn has been traditionally strong in the closing weeks at Saratoga. His quieter-than-usual summer 2025 at the Spa might help the price on Thursday.
Win bet #4.
Saratoga | Race 8 | 5:03 pm ET
#3 Iron Sight (10-1 morning line odds) didn’t live up to expectations for his $400,000 purchase price and just two starts through the second half of his 4-year-old season. But the Justify offspring arguably have been better on turf, and this colt has one of the classiest damsides in the history of horse racing. August 16 workout looks like a major wakeup call and drawn beautifully for a first two-turn try.
Win-place bet #3.
