Saratoga Race 6 - Curlin S. Presented By Casamigos Stakes
CHIEF WALLABEE (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 2012m at this track, clocking in 8 lengths from the winner. Perfectly placed to score. BLACKOUT TIME (1) scored an impressive win by 6 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and can go on with it. TIERNANOGUE (5) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Title Role over 1811m at Saratoga Turf, beaten 5 lengths into ninth. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Strong claims on best figures. ZIHNAL (3) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Has solid credentials.
