Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
PAIR OF SOCKS (3) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1207m at Aqueduct. Ideally placed to score while fresh. RUN CLASSIC (2) last appeared two months ago over 1609m at Churchill Downs when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Joe Sharp stable. Worth serious consideration. FACTUALLY CORRECT (5) last appeared three weeks ago over 1207m at this track when he finished third. This is his first run for the Roshan Samsundar stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. PRINCIP (6) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1408m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. One of the main hopes.
