Saratoga - Race 4
#3 Anewday (3/1 ml)
Half-brother to the outstanding turf mare Tout Charmant worked a quarter in 21.1 prior to bringing $1 million at the Fasig-Tipton sale. Big, imposing colt is reportedly looked like a 3yo back in February, and is supposeely a "class act". Might just be out gfor theexcercise here (his trainer Matz doesn't fare well with firsters), but the colt cleraly has quality and is currently 5/1 with about 15 mtp. Top 2yo rider Bejarano aboard. Worth a shot.
HRT record:
24 for 74 (32%)
$235.50 mutuels ($9.81 avg)

I paid close attention to the replays and it looked to be a clear education run, although Bejarano was whipping him in the stretch (while well-beaten) and wasn't getting much response. He made a sharp-looking move while attempting to circle the field though. Looks to have some talent.
#1 Johnny Eves (5/2 ml)
Powerful strider looked fantastic in his last race, and has been training better than ever coming into this one. Looks pretty tough.

#3 Black Mamba (8/1 ml)
Filly from the yet-unbeaten (5-for-5) Sadler/Doubledown combo has a big turn of foot that should serve her well here. Big future for this filly, i think. Reminds me a lot of her stablemate Crossing The Line. Incidentally, the 7/5 favorite Price Tag has been scratched. That will greatly affect the price, but there should still be excellent value.
Oh well. Thanks for posting always.
Johnny Eves went off @ 2/1 and ran second.
Black Mamba went off @ 5/1 and ran second.
Thanks for a couple of good sweats today .
Good luck tommorrow.
