(# 9) FOUR SARATOGA - Gelding by Langfuhr is with his third good trainer in his young career. Started with Dick Dutrow, moved to Gary Contessa and is now with Derek Ryan. Only grass race to date produced his highest speed figure yet. That was a pace-pressing journey around two turns from a wide post on Aqueduct's tight turf course. Given a two-month freshening, he came back in a dirt sprint at Monmouth, showed some speed and tired. Good setup race for the return to grass and distance racing. He will probably have to rate with all the "sprinters.

(# 5) Bernie - Has shown the best dirt speed out of this field. Drops, stretches and moves to grass for trainer Servis. Very dangerous opponent.

(# 10) Hay Prince - Lasix and blinkers were added in last by trainer Allard, and they did improve his speed and figure in his first distance attempt. Switches surfaces today and may run better still.

(#'s 2 and 3) Frankie O's Hope, Royal Advisor - Frankie" has some speed, a good post and gets Lasix. "Advisor" is by Royal Academy, so he should "grass". Has a very undistinguished record on dirt, but is working well.
