Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Claiming
TWO DUCKS (1) Honest race when 2nd last start at Aqueduct and has drawn the rails. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione and trainer Carlos F Martin are a pair that can't be ignored. Expect to go close. TWENTY TWO BLACK (5) Narrowly beaten last time at Aqueduct but will be down in distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Worth a ticket. INK LIES (4) First up after 9 weeks and was in the race for a long way when 2nd beaten by 3L first up last preparation at Keeneland. No shock to see a win. RELATIVE RISK (7) 3yo first starter sired by Flame Away for trainer Lisa Bartkowski. Jaime Rodriguez is a crucial engagement. Watch the market.

Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Aqueduct and has minimal work to do from the gate. Tyler Gaffalione and Carlos F Martin deserve respect together. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Started $10.00 and average performance when 10th last time at Laurel Park but has a positive gate. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

First up after 9 weeks and couldn't shake them off when 2nd first up last preparation at Keeneland. Have to respect the recent Wesley A Ward form. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Was agonizingly close last time at Aqueduct but back to a shorter trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Definite contender.

Odds of $43.00 and folded up in the straight when 6th last start at Aqueduct. Will be positive in the run early. Looking elsewhere today.
