MISSY MOUSE comes off the bench and gets back to a fast strip. Can go well fresh.

MARY PRAY FOR US is on a roll and can take another with these. Looks very chalky with new rider Ortiz.

Even though the figs have been sagging the cutback should aid MADAM AMOURA. Zip for three at the distance so where's the value?

Double drop for TWO TERM MAX and back to dirt. Two for four going six furlongs and live with theses. Scope the tote.

BIG MARA is a Slow Bred dropping to bottom open claimers. Get a price for a fling. I will if the number is there. Named for the beloved NY Giant Maras I'd guess.

Opened at 5/1.

These tough Saratoga cards make this game seem more like gambling than "making informed short-term investments".

I figured out my doubles.

DD: 2-5/8-9

Peeking Into Margaret's Overalls DD: 1-4-6/1

Coast to coast with the most was BIG MARA in 1:11.62.

I thought the winner was piss-poor chalk but I've been around too long to ignore the "smart money" that the farmers and tourists bring to the track. Gotta beat chalk to beat a card, however.

Andy and Gabby are sweeping the card so far.
