Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
GRAND YAUPON (9) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. BLACKJACK (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 9 lengths. Has the inside gate so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. FERRUM (3) is on debut. By Uncle Mo and is out of the Danny Gargan stable. A good gate is sure to assist. Expected to feature. FOOLIN (6) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Todd Pletcher. By Practical Joke from Song Sung True. Top-three chance.

Was at long odds at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on June 7 over 1106m, 9 len behind Booked carrying 56kg at $30.03. Likely to kick on following that last outing.
