Saratoga Race 9 - Christophe Clement Turf S. Stakes
MINARET STATION (6) is coming along nicely with back-to-back minor placings, the latest when third over 2213m at this track at his third run in from a spell. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. PROGRAM TRADING (4) has two wins and one placing from five runs this preparation. Scored last start by 2.75 lengths in the G2 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) over 2213m after being up on the pace all the way. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of a big run. FORT GEORGE (5) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 2213m in the G2 Bowling Green Stakes at this track (Turf). Kieran Shoemark sticks. Likely improver with strong claims. OLE CRAZY BONE (3) is a last-start winner over 2213m in the G2 Bowling Green Stakes at this track (Turf), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.1 lengths. Strong performer at this stage of the prep with a win and two minor placings from five attempts. Takes on tougher opposition this time but cannot be underestimated.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp on July 14 over 2400m, head behind Maltese Cross with 58.5kg at $23. Before that 2nd in a small field in the G2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot on June 19 over 2414m, neck behind Causeway with 58kg at $11. Worth plenty of thought.

Second-up. First-up after four months 2nd in a small field in the G2 Bowling Green Stakes at this track on July 11 over 2213m, 0.1 len behind Ole Crazy Bone with 55.5kg at $3.90.
