Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
SMILENSAYCHEESE (4) tackled the over 1408m at this track last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 14 lengths into sixth by Train The Trainer. Well placed and expected to feature. MILES AND MILES (1) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will be hard to stop. THREE B'S (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Aqueduct but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 9 lengths over 1207m at Aqueduct (Turf). Has the talent to figure prominently. AERO STAR (3) is back at the races for the first time since April 18. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Gulfstream Park. Definite top-three chance.
