SUNDAY AT THE SPA: Two excellent Grade 1 Stakes (Race 10 The Fourstardave & Race 11 The Saratoga Derby), postponed previously, highlight an excellent 12-race card. Post time for the first race is 1:10 p.m. ET/10:10 a.m. PT.
Race 5 (2:48 p.m. ET/11:48 p.m. PT) — $50K MAIDEN CLAIMING for NY-bred 3YOs & up going 1 1/16-mile on turf
If race is taken off turf (as expected), #16 BIG EGO (7-5 morning line) for superb NY-based trainer Linda Rice, who spots horses to win better than most. With Jose Ortiz in the saddle, this is the spot
Race 7 (4:28 p.m. ET/1:28 p.m. PT) — $35K CLAIMING for 4YOs & up going furlongs.
#6 BEACH BOY AL (7-2 morning line) for sharp NY-circuit horseman Jeremiah Englehart who retains improving Dylan Davis to ride. Drop in class, added distance and speedy work add up to a victory at fair price.
