Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
ABRIGADO (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Strips fitter and can take this out. DRAFT RIOTS (3) remains a maiden after four runs. Met with plenty of support last time but after being in the firing line on the turn could only manage to finish sixth over 1106m at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. LOUGH CURRANE (6) lines up for the first time since May 23. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Aqueduct. Worth plenty of thought. IMPLACABLE (7) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 19 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
