1/ST BET Horse Racing Predictions from Saratoga:

We are excited to announce a renewed partnership with the fine folks and handicappers at 1/ST BET. Jeremy Plonk and Jeff Siegel will be sharing their expertise on a weekly basis to pass along some ponies that they like for races at various tracks around the country, including Saratoga.

For this Wednesday, July 16 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Saratoga.

 

Saratoga | Race 4 | 2:58 pm ET

#3 Hello Beauty (5-1 morning line odds) seems best-equipped for the 1-1/8 miles journey in this field despite having raced exclusively on turf to this point. She should save ground and rally under Joel Rosario for trainer Jack Sisterson. This barn has run just two maidens over this rare dirt distance at Saratoga, an 11-1 winner and a 10-1 third-place finisher. The winner, like Hello Beauty, was coming out of turf races.
Win-place bet #3.

Saratoga | Race 9 | 5:42 pm ET

#5 Charlotte’s Heart (9-2 morning line odds) not only gets back to the turf for the first time since a debut win at Saratoga last summer, but stretches out in distance off a pair of sprint races this year. Expect this one to show a bit more tactical speed around two turns and the reunion with Javier Castellano, his debut-winning rider, only helps the cause.
Win-place #5.
