Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
STICKUPWITHOUTAGUN (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Finger Lakes, finishing 25 lengths from the winner. Perfectly placed to score. WHO'S YOUR ZADDY (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1811m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. INTO THE LIGHT (1) was safely held when second last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a win at Aqueduct at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. JETS RIO (2) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.9 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role.
