Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
GOOD SKATE (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Aqueduct but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 25 lengths over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. O P FIRECRACKER (3) continued the great form last start, scoring by 2.25 lengths at this track (Dirt) over today's trip. Winning claims yet again. EMPTY TOMB (4) reunites with Manuel Franco after scoring with ease over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. MANTA REY (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 11 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
