The top of this thread hit on three of my search arguments so I am compelled to speak out. [b]Saratoga[/b] (9/2), [b]2nd Time Starter[/b] (Foreign Affair), [b]Remsen Card[/b] (Aqu 11/25 Race #4).
I don't put too many horses on my "to watch" list so... to get there the trip must have caught my attention. On 9/2 which may (?) have been closing day at the Spa Foreign Affair's race caught my attention almost certainly because I invested in her.
My notes indicate she raced wide and ran on well through the finish line. Also the filly just didn't seem to know what was expected of her. Whether it was that or the connections were just out for a test drive is a puzzle but she impressed me by not stopping.
Saturday she will stretch out to a mile. I believe that is a plus. Adding a turn isn't, as another wide trip would not surprise. She is well rested and the workouts keep her under the radar @ m/l 10/1.
I have not looked at the competition and do not have the sheets to get a read on 2nd time starter stats. I don't play that heavy so if her price drops down I won't be the cause. Yet surely I'm not the only one who likes to bet young horses back after a promising 1st race. So she could even be an analysis favorite if that's so I second the proposition.
