Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
WHITETHORN (7) Resuming after a spell. Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at Aqueduct. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a strong choice aboard. No shock to see a win. PHANTOM BLUE (10) Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 2nd last start at Aqueduct and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Going up in trip. Goes close. AMERICAN DEBUTANTE (2) Below par when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but can find a nice position from the draw. Putting a tidy record together. Gets a chance to win. ONEHOTMESS (8) Did well to run 2nd beaten by 3L last start at Woodbine. Exotics hope in this event.

Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 5 1/2L last start at Churchill Downs and has the ideal draw. Likely to get back. Can't have today.

Was $5.00 and not up to scratch when 8th last time at Churchill Downs but promising career start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Definite claims for punters.

Resuming from spell. Was $5.00 and lacklustre showing when 10th last start at Keeneland but good career start. First start for a new trainer and rising in trip. Limited possibility.
