Race 6: Uncle Gio (#4)
Ran deceptively well last time after going wide around both turns.
Tends to get very rank in his races, so should benefit from a post position more towards the inside.
John Velazquez knows him very well and typically gets him to relax.
8-1 on ML
Race 7: Barry Lee (#1)
The pace of this race figures to be fast, with speeds Promises Fulfilled, Old Time Revival, and World of Trouble signed on.
Has actually faced tough company in his two most recent starts against older horses at Churchill Downs.
Joel Rosario has a knack for getting horses like this to relax and make one run.
10-1 on ML
Race 9: Sadler’s Joy (#6)
Probably ran the best race in the Manhattan last time after making a wide, premature move to the lead.
Has run some of his best races at Saratoga.
Handles turf courses that have taken some rain.
7-2 on ML
OH BOY! it’s up to Sadler’s Joy to bail us out.
