Saratoga Race 6

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $152,093

VALENTINE CRUSADER (1) will find this a little easier than his second on debut five-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 0.1 lengths at the end of 1106m at this track (Dirt). Promising type with improvement to come so a big run is anticipated. SUNDAY BOY (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 2.75 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. KING OF FOG (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1106m at this track (Turf), finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has ability and is among the chances. FROUTIEN (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Todd Pletcher. By Galilean from It's Timeless. Worth watching for a betting push.
