Saratoga Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
IRISH GOODBYE (11) Good effort to finish 2nd beaten by 3L last run at Aqueduct. Manuel Franco and Brad H Cox are a combination worth noting. Can win this. HURRICANE KAZ (5) Made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Aqueduct. Should come to hand quickly. Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. Will give a big sight. KING FARRO (4) Big effort to place 3rd beaten by almost 7L last time at Aqueduct but will be down in distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can get the job done. FRANKIE COFFEECAKE (6) Back from a break. Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Aqueduct. Respect against this field.

Back from a spell of 59 weeks. Was $7.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last start at Aqueduct but fitter for debut run. A long shot.

Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd last time at Aqueduct but down in trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Solid chance.

Strong run when placing 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Aqueduct. Has early speed and positions nicely. Tracking very well this campaign. Jaime Rodriguez is a smart booking. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Attacked the line when 3rd last start at Aqueduct and was a debutant last start. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
