Editor's note: last summer, Ed Sehon (aka Mr. Ed) called this column "Saratoga on (about) $100 a Day," but sometimes had trouble finding plays on the mid-week cards, which put a drain on the bankroll. This summer, Mr. Ed is posting his plays for VSiN.com/horses readers on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Here are his plays for Sunday:
Races 1-2 (1:05 p.m. ET/10:05 a.m. PT)
$3 BANKROLL BUILDER DAILY DOUBLE
Race 1: #3 Chiringo (4-1 morning line) and #8 Talkin Pharoah (8-5)
Race 2: #1 Critical Threat (3-1), #3 Blue Jays (7-5) and #5 Majestic Tiger (5-1)
(cost $18)
Race 4 (2:49 p.m. ET/11:49 a.m. PT)
I like a $4 three-horse Exacta Box of #2 Naughty Gal (8-5 morning line), #4 Sabra Tuff (7-2) and #5 Janis Joplin (9-2). It’s naughty — and occasionally nice!
(cost $24)
Races 7-10 (4:29 p.m. ET/1:29 p.m. PT)
I like a $0.50 Pick 4
Race 7: ALL (1-6)
Race 8: 4,5,8
Race 9: 3,4,5
Race 10: 1,10
(cost $54)
Race 8 (5:05 p.m. ET/2:05 p.m. PT)
Mr. Ed’s BEST BET is #8 Portilla (9-2 morning line). Main man Al Stall Jr. stretches out 4-year-old sprinting daughter of Dialed In extra furlong in effort to repeat recent Churchill Downs effort, where she just missed to speedy Ari Oakley. A similar move forward puts her and jockey Ricardo Santana in Winner’s Circle. Wager: $10 Win and Place, plus $2 Exacta Box of 4,5,8..
(cost $32)
TOTAL WAGERS: $128
