Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
TRICKY BUSINESS (2) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 16 lengths, over 1710m at Monmouth Park. Expecting a bold showing. SUNDAY BOY (6) raced in a Listed Race last time on turf when a 3.5 lengths fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf. That came on the back of a third on turf at Aqueduct Turf the run prior. Well placed in this easier race. Sure to feature. JUDGE BOUSHAY (7) showed good pace over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by half a length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. TOSCANO (4) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1408m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
