9 IN JUST WE TRUST* 5-2 LS
10 INSIGHTFUL 7-2
2 ADAMS CIRCLE 4-1
12 RUN TO GRAND AVE 9-2
IN JUST WE TRUST drops in for a tag for Pletcher, cuts back
to a sprint and earned his best fig at 7f...INSIGHTFUL was
in a huge key race chasing stakes winners in 2yo return and
tidred badly; drops in for a tag for Barclay Tagg, who has
several horses taking key drops today as he aggressively
looks to jump start the Spa meet.....ADAMS CIRCLE earned a
good number winning at this distance at Churchill...RUN TO
GRAND AVE comes off a sharp placing at this distance and level.

RACE 7
2 TOO CLEVER BY HALF*** 4-1 BAL 2C
6 MALIBU COUGAR 4-1 2C
8 WITH THE CURRENT 4-1
5 HEAVENLY PRIDE 8-1
Typically wide open 2yo maiden dash loaded with good
prospects. TOO CLEVER BY HALF is bred for speed, worked fast
at the sales and sold for 25 times the sire's stud fee;
these owners saw three of their two year olds win at first
asking at the Belmont meet, but this one prepped up here at
Saratoga, upset call...MALIBU COUGAR worked well at the
sales and sold for $350k, debuts for a top barn...WITH THE
CURRENT debuts for Pletcher...HEAVENLY PRIDE nicely bred.
