Don't forget to check out the Challenge page where we started the month with a mythical $1200 bankroll and attempt to increase that amount as the Saratoga season continues.

Yesterday

3-10. Winners R2 [4.60], R5 [9.00] and R9 [4.60]. The frustrating finish came in R3 where our top pick, first-time starter 5-1 Finalize just missed in an absolute squeaker of a photo.

18,240 attended. It was sunny, very hot and humid.

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.
