Horse Pick of the Day Saturday - Saratoga Race 4
by BetUS Staff
The big race on Saratoga’s Saturday card is the Grade I Test Stakes at 7 furlongs on the dirt. In that race last year’s two-year old champion filly, Indian Blessing, will try and keep her win streak alive.
But before Indian Blessing could take to the track, online racebook fans will get a chance to make some money on an ultra competitive minor stakes race at Saratoga. That would be Race 4 on the Saturday card.
Let’s get to it!
Saratoga Racecourse – Race 4
Flanders Stakes
$80,000
For Fillies Three-Years Old
6 furlongs on the dirt
Irish Smoke - - 9/2 morning line
This filly was one of the favorites in the online odds should be good enough.
Ready For Fortune - - 10/1 morning line
One of the few pressers in a race loaded with speed, Ready For Fortune has looked impressive in the mornings and this race could set up for her. Trainer Gary Contessa has fixed whatever ailed him during the Belmont meet. That means that this filly should be right there at the end. She could be a huge overlay in this field.
Lovely Isle - - 5/2 morning line
She’s going to go for the lead but will have to contend with the Bob Baffert trained More Happy. Not that it should matter. This gal needed to get back onto the dirt after those tries on the artificial surfaces out in California. She could lead this field gate to wire if More Happy doesn’t put pressure on her. The only thing to dislike is the online wagering odds.
Wagering Strategy
I ‘m going to bet Irish Smoke to win and place and use in an exacta and tri box with Ready For Fortune and Lovely Isle.
Good Luck!
