I think Seven Forty seven will open up the favorite & anyone betting him will be lucky to get 5/2. The owner has been touting this horse to the world. I have a friend whose cousin was at Arlington last Saturday & sat near the owner, who told him about Seven Forty Seven. I got the e-mail about Seven Forty Seven from my friend last Sunday, well before entries to this race were drawn. If the owner is a big bettor, this horse is going off the favorite.
I believe that Teletap will win this race & go on to graded stakes. The only thing that gives me pause to emptying my wallet and going all in on Teletap is the sobering thought that even greats like Secretariat and American Pharoah lost their 1st race & if Seven Forty Seven gets the jump on him, he could be get too far in front of Teletap for Teletap to catch him. No matter what happens in this race, Teletap is the best long range horse in here-he may be the best bred 2YO at Saratoga this year.
What makes this interesting is I really like the #5 Rule Yourself in the 6th race. So, I can throw DDs & Picks in using both 7 & 9 in the 7th with him.
