(# 3) MATCHLESS ORINDA - Stretches out for Todd Pletcher off of a pair of sprints, the second of which was much better than the first. Set a very fast, contested pace in debut at Saratoga from the rail, rated well and bid in last, only to be outkicked late. Continues good AM work over the Spa. training track.

(# 1) Muska - Blinkers come off and Lasix is added for start number two. Also goes from turf to dirt for trainer Bill Mott. Overall a very good initial run for this $1,600,000 yearling purchase. Almost put this one on top.

(# 2) Raw Silk - Both blinkers and Lasix are added by trainer Tom Albertrani. Heavily backed in only race at Saratoga, she had a tough post (10) and got out a bit around the turn.

(# 8) Receipt - Decent run over this surface at 6.5 furlongs in last. Barn's(McGaughey) stock usually improve with racing and distance.
