Saratoga Race 8

Birdstone S. Stakes

Stake: -

ANNEXPERIENCE (2) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by 3 1/2L last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Going over more ground. Can take this out. INTERCEPTOR (6) Did well when 3rd last start at Churchill Downs and rising in distance. Irad Ortiz Jr is an advantage but facing a stronger class. Showing good ability this campaign. Strong chance. STARS AND STRIPES (3) Was well beaten when 8th last time at this venue. Has the talent to rebound quickly and going up in trip. Good to see Luis Saez is jumping on. Definite claims. CAROLO RAPIDO (8) Back from a break. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last start at Churchill Downs and stepping up in distance. Taking on stronger opponents. Respect against this field.

Started $16.00 and came in 7th last run here but drawn beautifully. John R Velazquez is a bonus and coming back up in distance. Matched against tougher rivals. Looking elsewhere.
