Tomorrow's 5th race at Saratoga has an interesting workout angle to consider. These are $16kN2L Claimers that include a TAP/Repole/St Elias FOR SALE horse, a Walder horse that loves running 2nd, a Maker horse with 2 decent dirt races in Apr/May, a first off the claim Linda and a 10 horse field. These other horses should lead to a decent price for the one described below.

#6 Barrell Craft goes to the Dirt for the first time after 2 Poly track starts at GP. One in March of 2023 to win on debut at MdnClm16k and then a return in July of this year for 25k claiming but he was eligible to not be claimed. His debut was for trainer Jeff Hiles and now he is trained by Jack Sisterson.

His bullet workout at PmM of 48 flat on Aug 5th matches up with a horse named Be Here Now. Be Here Now hasn't raced since August of 2023. That race at Ellis Be Here Now won by 9 1/2 lengths. She hasn't been seen since but that was a N2L Allowance and she broke her maiden in a MSW race on dirt at GP prior to that.

Be Here Now's trainer is none other than Jeff Hiles. (Maybe now Be Here Now is trained by Sisterson also??) Be Here Now's owner is Rocket Ship Racing LLC. #6 Barrell Craft as stated was previously trained by Hiles and is owned by Rocket Ship Racing LLC.

Barrell Craft's return at GP was an okay 5f effort with a decent gallop out, with and just past the winner into the Turn although he didn't blast by to be clear but he kept on. This 1 mile race is similar to the debut winning distance.

I've seen worse 5-1 shots and could be a bigger price in this race. 2nd off the layoff. First time Dirt with a solid dirt work 3 back and a sneaky move maybe?

Sneaky b/c this horse must somehow qualify under the Waiver Claiming rule to be exempt from claim as he is not listed for a tag. I don't know the exact rule or care really as long as the horse is eligible for this race and not up for a claim. He started for $16k on debut to likely fit here even under the waiver rule.

The ownership group of this name has 2 winners on the year from 27 starts. One of which was Sunday at Gulfstream Park in a MdnClm35k race with a horse trained by Jack Sisterson. I think they shipped here to give a serious shot at a Spa Win.

I'm in on the horse as a key. Good Luck!
