Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
INTO THE LIGHT (1) Was competitive when 2nd last time at the track and challenged by weaker competitors. Expecting to settle positively. Very competitive this preparation. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. WHO'S YOUR ZADDY (6) Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. First start for a new trainer. Worth a bet. STICKUPWITHOUTAGUN (4) Folded up in the straight when 4th last start at Finger Lakes. Is capable of a resurgence and goes down in class. Expect to go close. JETS RIO (2) Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Ellis Park and can find a nice position from the draw. Irad Ortiz Jr is a smart booking. Not out of this.

Placed 2nd last time at this venue and challenged by less formidable competitors. Has early speed and positions nicely. In fine form this campaign and drawn the rails. Will attract plenty of interest.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 1L last run at Ellis Park and has a good draw. More confidence with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr guiding the horse. Has a credible chance.

Jumped at $28.00 and average performance when 8th last start at this venue and facing a stronger group of contenders. Coming to a new trainer. Will need to elevate.

Odds of $10.00 and faded away to finish 4th last start at Finger Lakes. Is capable of a resurgence and stepping down to a lower level. Definite claims for punters.

Even though fading at the finish still placed 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at this venue and good career start. Change in trainer. Should go well.
