1:44 pm ET Saratoga (Race 2) – Dreamlike 3/5 (3-star play)

The Gun Runner colt Dreamlike has shown plenty of ability in his 3 starts, finishing on the board on each occasion. The most recent of those saw him finish a head 3rd having led narrowly in the stretch in a 9-furlong maiden special weight at Aqueduct in April.

The 3-year-old was making his first start in New York on that occasion and is taken to get off the mark following a string of works over 5 furlongs. 

2:52 pm ET Saratoga (Race 4) – Randomized 7/5 (2-star play)

The 3-year-old Randomized showed plenty of ability when debuting with a 3rd place at this venue over 6 furlongs in July last year and made a winning seasonal debut when putting 5.5 lengths between herself and her rivals in a mile event at Aqueduct in March.

She failed to shine when upped to Grade 1 company in the Acorn over an extended mile at Belmont Park last month but looks well placed to return to winning ways now dropping in grade with Irad Ortiz riding. 

4:00 pm ET Saratoga (Race 6) – Shutters 5/2 (2-star play)

This gelding ended his time with his previous trainer Chad Brown with a 2nd place in a mile allowance at Aqueduct in April.

Bidding to complete a hat-trick on that occasion, the son of Get Stormy is a versatile sort tactics-wise and performed well when making his debut for Mark Hennig in finishing 1.5-lengths 4th in a mile allowance at Belmont Park last month. He looks capable of taking this on the back of a 49.45 4-furlong work at Belmont Park. 

5:10 pm ET Saratoga (Race 8) – Dot’s Dollar 8/5 (2-star play)

The winner of 2 of his 4 starts since joining the Linda Rice Barn following a victory at Aqueduct last October, Dot’s Dollar’s most recent success came by a neck over 6.5 furlongs in an allowance optional claimer at Belmont Park earlier this month.

He arrives in good form and with Jose Ortiz, on board last time out, booked to ride again the son of Speightster looks capable of scoring having won on his only previous start at this venue. 

5:44 pm ET Saratoga (Race 9) – Love Reigns 7/5 (2-star play)

Love Reigns won twice last year, including by 2.5 lengths in a Listed contest over this course and distance in August. She failed to shine when 8th in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint over the same trip at Keeneland subsequently but made the perfect start to her 3-year-old campaign when winning a Listed event at Keeneland in April.

She impressed when delivering a 1:00.80 5-furlong work there earlier this month and is taken to register her 4th career success.
