Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
URGENCY (4) Placed 2nd last run at Aqueduct. Live winning chance. AUTHENTIC LEGEND (7) Couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last start at Aqueduct. Worth strong consideration. DISPARATE IMPACT (14) Managed to run 3rd last run at Churchill Downs. Gains the services of jockey Flavien Prat. One of the major players. CEDERBERG (6) Folded up in the straight when 5th last time at Aqueduct. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Chad C Brown can't be overlooked. Will be around the mark at odds.
