Going to try the #6 Working Class Hero. This horse is 2 for 2 at the 6 furlong distance. If he can transfer his Delaware efforts to Saratoga, he should be able to get a piece.

W/P/S: 6
Exacta Box: 6/1,3,4,5,8,9

We're still liking Tony's Deli shipper off the busted DD. With 10MTP, we're also looking at the 9/2 on Lake's pair.

DD: 1-3/1-2

In the third race we're scoping Lump CHIEF EXPORT. This old gelding ran his lungs out off the layup and might be able to handle the rise in company second out with the cutback.

Feeble Fumble Fondle Futz DD: ALL/6

WOODACRE/Double Lump DD: 3/6-7

Two Observations:

1. #6 held his Delaware form
2. That track is lightening fast

Great call spafan1 on the $19.20 winner but I will never understand keying a $19.20 winner in a ($70.50) zacta and then catching $4.40 for the show across the board. I'd have been on him like Stanford White was on Evelyn Nesbit in 1901.

A-OK BANG!!!! nonetheless.

The winner went in a super 1:09.43 which I did not expect on this track for this company.

Lump CHIEF EXPORT opened as the fave on first flash and could land a $158 DD for me.

This is not an easy card.

Thanks for the congratulations. I thought I was doomed when he almost blew the turn, but Garcia held him together.

The turn, I agree, was a horror but the rider stayed with the task at hand and that's all a player can ask.

Nice job on that call.
