My first play @ Saratoga today was Save Time For Me (Race 5), who ran third @ 13/1. Here's the other one...
Saratoga - Race 7
#2 D'bigcat (5/1 ml)
2yo firster by the fast sprinter D'wildcat worked the fastest quarter-mile (20.2) at the March Ocala sale, tied with two others. More recently, he worked heads-up on July 5 with the older allowance winner New Member, who came out of that drill to set fractions of 23.01, 45.99, and 1:09.91 in a one-mile allowance event on July 12. Looks certain that this horse has some keen speed, and he could very well pop the gate from his inside post here and prove tough to catch. Also worth mentioning that today's rider Castellano is showing nearly a 50% flat-bet profit from over 40 mounts for Weaver. He also happened to ride New Member in the afore-mentioned allowance race. Looks very live here.
D'bigcat went off @ 5/1 and indeed popped the gate, leading to the top of the stretch, but he tired thereafter and failed to hit the board. Simply wasn't good enough.
