Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
MIDNIGHT STILL (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. DECIMATION (3) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Expected to be in the finish. HARBAUGH (5) is on debut for the Mark E Casse stable. Two-year-old colt by Not This Time from Courteous. Must be kept safe, particularly if there is a market lead. JOHNNY HOCKEY (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Aqueduct, beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.

Two-year-old colt (Not This Time - Courteous) making his debut. Has the right credentials to run a forward race.
