Saratoga Race 10 - H. Allen Jerkens Memorial S. Stakes

VERIFIRE (5) Charged home to win last run at Churchill Downs and solid career start. Has hit top form this campaign with 2 wins from as many runs but facing stiffer opposition. Respect against this field. MIDLAND MONEY (2) Controlled the pace when winning by 3 1/4L last time around here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Up against tougher rivals. No shock to see a win. PATCH ADAMS (1) Resumes from a spell. Strong effort to the line to win last run at the track on a heavy surface and will appreciate the drop in class. Drawn the rails. Each way appeals best. CHANCER MCPATRICK (4) Ran home strongly to win last run around here but competing at a higher level of competition. Irad Ortiz Jr is a key booking. Expected to be flashing home. Could be value.
