AGOS Horses to Watch & Trip Notes for Agameofskill.com visitors
SARATOGA
MORNING GOLD (Race 1 @SAR, July 14, 2019) – Ken McPeek firster came in off a solid work pattern and ran a big race when 2nd to the Pletcher-trained favorite. 5 lengths clear of the show horse in a rock solid debut.
BLAME THE CAKE (Race 4 @SAR, July 14, 2019) – Firster for Ian Wilkes (7% win, 19% itm) was a $190,000 Ocala purchase. Made a big run to take the lead and looked like a winner in deep stretch when he got run down by a sharp Jason Servis firster that was given a brilliant ride by Irad Ortiz.
CATCH A BID (Race 8 @SAR, July 14, 2019) – This is a rising star for Chad Brown. Her career debut was awesome and then she ran a big 2nd here to a Grade-3 placed runner in Varenka, while well clear of the show horse. Could be a very solid multi-race key next time she runs.
WINIFRED J (Race 2 @SAR, July 13, 2019) – Ed Barker filly likely needed race in her first start since early February. This was a tough spot but she ran a good third. She’s a half to one winner, who was a grass horse. Look for this Blame filly back on the turf, sprinting or on the stretch-out.
DECORATED INVADER (Race 6 @SAR, July 13, 2019) – Looked sharp when finishing 2nd in debut for West Point and partners. Clement runner is a half to two turf winners and he was up against it facing a very slow pace in this race.
CHURCHILL DOWNS
BASIN (race 1 @CD, June 14, 2019) – This talented 2yo from the Steve Asmussen barn ran a strong 2nd in a key race field, losing by a nose to G3 Sanford winner By Your Side. Was 3-4 wide throughout but finished strong.
