Happy Saturday! We've got a big day of racing ahead of us - big day! - and we're starting it all off in upstate New York watching the ponies at Saratoga. Today's card includes 13 races with tons of runners. We're talking about a literal avalanche of horses. That's right. So many thoroughbreds to choose from your head'll spin. Want to add some icing on this proverbial cake? Races 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are all stakes. And these ain't your great step-godfather's stakes:
Race 4: $400K Ballston Spa Stakes (G2T)
Race 7: $500K Ketel One Ballerina Handicap (G1) / Breeders' Cup Win & In
Race 8: $600K Forego Stakes (G1)
Race 9: $500K H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes (G1)
Race 10: $600K Personal Ensign Stakes (G1) / Breeders' Cup Win & In
Race 11: $750K Resorts World Casino Sword Dancer Stakes (G1T) / Breeders' Cup Win & In
Race 12: $1.25 Million Runhappy Travers Stakes (G1)
Worried about the weather? Don't be. Running conditions will be great. The turf is firm, the track is fast and temperatures will be in the low 70's with cloudy skies. Need help pickin' winners? We've got you covered! Our #LundinLine top picks and best bets are below in this post. We use them to help narrow down the field while we're puttin' our tickets together. Think of our line as another tool on your thoroughbred-picking tool belt. Our appointment at the Spa is early this morning - first post is at 8:35 AM Pacific, so set your alarm and don't be late!
You know what comes next! Saddle up and ride with us. We're gettin' #InTheMoney!
