How long can a hot streak last? Virtually impossible to time so I hope the Saratoga weather stays nice for the day.

In the 1st, Casse sends Ewing the Knicks Go colt whose stud fee is $12,500. This one is the m/l favorite Casse's hot streak and auction price surely play a part of that. To be ridden by Jose Ortiz I'm leaning toward an exacta.

on the other hand we have brother Irad Ortiz aboard

Pletcher trained Repole owned Japanese bred colt from Drefong with a $30k stud fee. This one only auctioned off @ $311k but worked third fastest of 144 and c/b twice the price.

*****- Pletcher scratches and Casse currently at 1 to 2.****

In the Kelso (Only a mile) Casse's Win The Money defending Woodbine Mile champ attended what seems to me to have been a stupid fast pace for 1+1/8 at GP in his last out (in Jan) and stayed on pretty well. But he figures to be the slowest finisher in this group so looks like catch me if you can. And the group includes a couple Euro immigrants.
