They don't run 5-1/2f races on the inner, so you can stop wondering about that one. They're all on the "Mellon."

On another note, pondering the whole "drug" thing, anyone notice how badly the Asmussen/Blasi 1st-time-starters are performing since the suspension began? Blasi is still wacking about 20% overall, but after today's 4th at Saratoga, their firsters are now 1-for-26 since he took over. This from a barn that had seemed like TAP's equal (at least) in that category. Lone winner in that stretch, the $2mil FuPeg filly who goes in the Spa Gr1 this weekend.
