Saratoga Race 3 - Bernard Baruch S. Stakes

PROGRAM TRADING (2) is a winner of five from seven and is unbeaten in three first-up runs. Rates a top chance on return. DONEGAL MOMENTUM (5) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish seventh over the same trip in the G3 Kelso Handicap at this track (Turf) after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MAJOR DUDE (1) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start third in the G2 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park (Turf) over 2213m when beaten 2 lengths. John R Velazquez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Capable of running a bold race. NORTHERN INVADER (3) finished second last time out over 1408m at Woodbine, beaten 1.5 lengths. Credentials hard to fault.
