Mhm. Alexa Del Mar is not the only place that has big races this weekend.
00:06
Saratoga and Kentucky Downs have a couple graded stakes races. So let's
00:10
start over at Saratoga to do some quick hits, set everybody up for some of the
00:13
big races this weekend. What's going on in race number 10? Yeah, race 10 is the
00:18
first of their three graded stakes on the card tomorrow and it's the grade
00:22
three priorities for three year old Phillies going six furlongs on the dirt.
00:26
So it's a short race. The number 72 sharp is going to be the favorite in
00:30
here, which is a very familiar role for her. She's been the favorite in both
00:34
her two other lifetime starts and she won the most recent one by 11 links,
00:39
earning a 118 time from U. S. Speed figure, which is far more than anyone
00:43
else has done in here. If you do want to try to beat her, I like the number
00:46
three tricky temper who's gonna be 3.5 to 1. And she seems to be developing
00:51
into her prime as a three year old winning her last two and just
00:54
consistently improving her speed figures each time by decent margin. Um,
00:58
one other exciting horse to know in here is the number nine bright work.
01:02
Um, she was quite a champion as a two year old won her first four starts and
01:06
then kind of stalled out and her progress stopped and had two
01:09
disappointing races. But it turned out that she had an injury, so she needed a
01:13
lot of time off and this will be her debut as a three year old. The first
01:17
time we've seen her race since last November. We'll see some of the babies
01:21
in race number 11. Alexa, it's the grade one spin away and that will be
01:25
for two year old Philly. So set us up for race number 11 at Saratoga. Yeah,
01:30
like you said, it's a bunch of inexperienced two year olds, which in
01:33
my opinion are very fun races to handicap because really anything can
01:38
happen. You don't have a whole lot to go off of. You know, you have pedigree
01:41
and workouts and maybe a race or two. Um, but a lot can happen. But my
01:45
favorite in here is the number 11 quiet side. She's been out once and just
01:50
dominated the competition, winning by six lengths, putting up a very fast
01:54
speed figure. And, um, I won't be surprised to see her improve again on
01:59
that second start, which you often see with young horses. There's also the
02:03
number eight, the Queen's M. G. In here. And if you're a fan of record setting,
02:07
you may want to root for her because she won the other two big two year old
02:12
graded stakes races this summer at Saratoga. So if she wins this one,
02:15
she's gonna sweep all three, which will be the first time anyone's done it
02:18
since 1987. The third graded stakes will be race number 12. It's the great
02:23
to flower bowl, and we see a familiar face down on the inside, right? We're
02:27
like goddesses back. Yeah, we're like goddesses back, and she's great. This
02:31
is also a Breeders Cup winning your in challenge race. So the winner here gets
02:34
a birth to the makers Mark Philly Mayor Turf on November 2nd, where they'll be
02:39
gunning for $2 million in prizes. So there's a lot on the line, and we're
02:43
like goddesses. The horse to beat. I don't think anybody's going to. She's a
02:46
powerful closer. She loves these long distance races. She's the oldest in
02:50
here at seven years old, but so consistently running really fast races.
02:54
She'll be even money and
