Off the turf.

Busted turf routes for 2-year-olds always get turned back at Saratoga. Can't go a mile since the Wilson Chute is gone and NYRA no longer sends off a mile dirt race that starts up against the outer fence on the clubhouse turn.

Just holding my lucky weasel as I make some semi-educated guesses.

DISCOVERED ran a fine debut turf sprint. I see the grandsires TIZNOW and HENNESSY and figure he'll like the dirt just fine.

I thought that Brad Cox had a good shot to see the winner's circle today and it could start with EZMOSH who was an even third in the dirt debut and could improve dramatically second over. Could be an early DD for Cox.

Mike Maker's Lump WITCH DOCTOR was firing May, June and July bullet work tabs. Outside gate speed perhaps.

And Weaver's COLLUM ROAD is a grandson of INDIAN CHARLIE via the dam. I hate to get beat by CHARLIE maidens at Saratoga.

The Four/Ten could land me a DD but that wasn't the game plan I had worked out prior to Race 1.

Chad's firster is overbet. There is a reason that CONGRUITY was entered for the lawn but Chad is the best and the farmers and tourists just don't care as fans.

Busted DD Catches New Life: 5-8/2-4

1/8 Pole's Ice Hockey Jersey Number DD: 4/4

P3: 3-4-8-9-10/2/1

ExBx: 4/10

I didn't see that coming but I did see my money going.
