Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
B THEDONALD (2) finished 5.5 lengths back in second in stakes company last time over 1408m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Did win when fresh from a spell two runs back by 0.3 lengths at Aqueduct (Dirt). Manuel Franco who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. NEW YORK SCRAPPY (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), getting home by 0.3 lengths. Winning rider Silvestre Gonzalez retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KENNY BE (5) got the prize two runs ago at Aqueduct. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ON THE HILL (4) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Does boast a solid record at the second run back. Expected to do far better this time.

Third-up today. Not raced for 37 days. First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Aqueduct April 16 over 1408m defeating Wamo carrying 56kg at $2.26. Last start 2nd of 9 at this track in LR on June 3 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Sculcos Folly carrying 55.5kg at $19.86. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on June 5 over 1207m, 9 len behind Hit The Post with 57kg at $3.54. The race before that scored a big 5.5 len win at Aqueduct April 18 over 1408m defeating Mozambique with 57kg at $3.11. One of the chief contenders.
