What is your best bet of the day on Saturday for Jim Dandy Day at Saratoga? Who do you like in the big race? Let us know in the comments.

Great discussion guys, thank you!

Great show guys, in R2 I love Tinebar making his 2nd start too Note: in the G1 Vanderbilt I felt it was important to note that Subrogate last 3 races all in 2024 at age 4 were with Lasix And he will not have Lasix in this stakes event

My bet of the day Saturday comes in the PLL Premiere Lacrosse League will be the 1st wager I ever made in Lacrosse but bottom line is wherever I find a best bet no matter what sport that's where I'm going no interest in the Jim Dandy so will just watch

For the Dandy we all see the speed of fierceness but I do not see him ahead by 10 in this race. I frankly don’t like either batten down or goulds gold. Batten down had fairly slow fractions in his past two races and didn’t beat much, mott cold and gold was 12-1 and really didn’t make up much ground. I feel pony express has great natural speed that can more than carry. Dam won over 600k and Sadler wouldn’t put this horse here for no reason. In his last jockey was looking behind him early in race, knew what he had. I think if fierceness is challenged by him can fade. Seize the greys last race is a complete throw out, was never comfortable on that track that day and tired. Putting in good works and will resort to pat day mile tactics of rating. Prior to last race showed Beyer progression of 92-105. Could easily do between 105-110 if rested and matured. Sierra Leone one to beat consistent and plenty of pace to chase. So why not Sierra Leone over STG and Pony express. In 11th feel Rabaja is real on Dam side is words of war who produced E Dubai, Vronsky & no matter what. Shots in that race topic changer who won over SAR gets pos. Jockey change and 10 who gets Prat and was in stakes races at SAR in past. 12th summer whirl must use shots 6 first time rice and lasix with Irad and 9 needed last well bred. In 7th like shot Restore who will be ignored. Perhaps more well meant for turf but I’m not ignoring classy Dam side of Danzig and Sadlers wells at 10-1

Sierra Leone was mediocre in the Belmont Stakes. Mindframe was all over the place and Dornach was running out of steam. Sierra Leone should have won if he was as good as his reputation.
