SARATOGA Race #2

Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (OUTPOST) - Price play isn't as accomplished as some of the others but she the speed of the speed and one of the best "gate" riders in the country (C.C. Lopez) comes in for the ride. The top pick, and at a nice price.

2nd pick: #3 (Quebrada Shiner) - Argentine import won a small stakes at Belmont last out going 6 furlongs and the horse she beat is the probable favorite this afternoon in a $150K (G3) stakes at Woodbine.

3rd pick: #6 (Karakorum Elektra) - She's one of a pair of "battled hardened" mares from the barn of Linda Rice and they'll race uncoupled. This 7-year-old state-bred by "Freud" is (26-9-4-1) in grass sprints and has won stakes here in the past. Veteran is a stretch threat today.
