Here we go!

Yesterday

No racing.

Today

Hats Off music fest. Musical acts line Saratoga's main street - keeping things hopping downtown from 7-11pm.

FIRST RACE
Groupthink...Seems in good form and has run decently here in the past.
Beyond Empire...Similar scenario to top pick.
Sea Raven...Looks primed for a good effort.
Moneyinyourpocket.

SECOND RACE
Flatware...Sib Coastline 2,1,1 in first three - and that third start win was a stake. Sib Sky Bistro won its only start.
Here Comes Rosie...Sib Onward Look won debut. Sib Ripley's Gold 3,4,1.
Corinthian's Joy...Trainer good with firsters and has a sib, Put It All In that was 3,2,1 in first three starts.
Argyle Gal.

THIRD RACE
Dacoma...Seems interesting with the drop and the stretchout.
Khaleesi Kat...Hasn't shown much so far but perhaps eligible to wake-up on the move in for a tag and equipment shake-ups.
Weekend Hottie...Beaten fave off the claim should fit with these.
Flying KC.
Saratigao.

FOURTH RACE - G3 $150K Schuylerville
Moment Is Right...Solid stakes win in second career start to stay undefeated.
Positively Royal...Pletcher trainee won debut as the chalk.
Decked Out...Behind top pick last time.
Banree.

FIFTH RACE
Jewelisa...Perhaps a slight class edge.
Takeoff Your Hat...AE list. Might benefit from first start of 2015.
Queenofzeenile...Hard to discriminate between this one and Race and Shine. Both seem capable in here.
Race and Shine.
Jennys Creek.

SIXTH RACE
Lady Devil... Worked 20.4 before 2YO sale. Sib Aztec Key 2,1 in first two starts.
Anna house... Cleverly named Pletcher trainee has some precocious breeding with a sib, Very Sweet, that was 2,3,1,1 in first four.
Just Wicked...Experience counts and trainer does well with second-time starters.
First Salute.

SEVENTH RACE
Trophee...Seems the one to beat in current form - but must overcome the post position.
Dating Lady Luck...AE list. Lightly-raced but a contender if draws in.
The Tea Cups...Solid comeback.
Dynazar.
Asperites.

EIGHTH RACE
Doc Almon...Looking for a speed duel between the second and third picks to set things up. We'll see...
Juba...tough if able to sneak away early.
Scatter Joy...More speed that could be dangerous if able to shake free.
Pulling Gs.

NINTH RACE - G2 $200K Lake George
Partisan Politics...Taking a little bit of a shot here - and hoping she can move forward in the second start of her 3YO season. Must overcome post.
Feathered...Might be tough on the front-end.
Mrs McDougal...One of Chad Brown's three-pronged uncoupled entry. Lightly-raced with improving numbers.
Jellicle Ball.

TENTH RACE
Who' Z Daddy...AE list. Looks to have an edge here.
Kowboy Boots...Numbers fit - plus the slight drop.
Culprit...Also fits with the calss relief.
Big Blue Talent.
Howaboutwe.

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
