Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BABY YODA (5) finished fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Hard to go past. LIGHT MAN (6) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1408m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LIGHT THE WAY (4) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is capable of going well. COMEDY TOWN (2) is back at the races for the first time since May 26. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Gulfstream Park. Sure to make his presence felt.
