Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Optional Claiming
BUZZER BEATER (8) First race appearance 2yo by Drain The Clock for Linda Rice. Follow the money. CADILLAC MARY (1) Weakened to finish 6th last start at this track but going over extra ground. Jeremiah C Englehart has been training plenty of winners recently and has the ideal gate. Must be considered. NEVER GONNA STOP (7) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at this venue but rising in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Well placed and has solid claims. SUNNY BIRD (10) 2yo first starter by Karakontie for trainer Keri Brion. Betting as a guide.

At $10.00 outpaced some runners late when 5th last run at this track and fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Going over more ground. Suggest watching.
