Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
GLEN AIRY (1) started at $9.35 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. AUTHENTIC GALLOP (2) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1609m at Churchill Downs two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. AWESOME EMPIRE (4) started at $7.27 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1408m. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. RUNGIUS (7) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1911m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) on August 23. Sure to make his presence felt. Something for the Multiples: NEON BORDEAUX (8)
