Summary
$38.40 buys the analyst’s 20-cent Pick 6 ticket for Saratoga’s two-day sequence, which starts Friday and concludes Saturday with the Belmont Stakes.
6 races make up the wager, including five Grade 1 events; the lone single is Crude Velocity in Saturday’s Woody Stephens, where he is labeled the most talented 3-year-old in the field.
Friday’s approach fades 4-5 Acorn favorite Always a Runner in favor of Meaning and Prom Queen, while spreading four deep in the Ogden Phipps with Fully Subscribed, Alpine Princess, Cassiar and Nitrogen.
Saturday’s remaining legs use Imagination, Bentornato and Book’em Danno in the True North, then narrow the Met Mile to Nysos and Knightsbridge before a four-horse Belmont finish.
4 horses close the Belmont leg—Powershift, Chief Wallabee, Renegade and Commandment—with the race framed as wide open because limited early speed could blunt the Kentucky Derby form.
