Note: Saratoga has an $85K pick 6 carryover that begins in Race 6 today.

Saratoga 6th Race – Post: 3:53 ET. Degree of confidence: B
Top Selection: 3-Fiddling Felix.
Other Contenders: none.

Forecast: Showing the classic two-sprints-and-a-stretch-out pattern, Fiddling Felix looks ready to step forward again in this maiden miler for juveniles, and after breaking poorly in his first two career starts the son of Mendelssohn hopefully will leave with his field today and give himself a legitimate chance to earn his diploma. He improved his speed figure by 17 points in his most recent outing despite getting left at the barrier and then commencing his rally too soon while wide on the turn before losing some of his punch late to wind up a better-than-looked fourth. Today, he should get the patient ride he needs from new pilot J. Castellano while offerering enticing wagering value at or near his morning line of 9/2.

Saratoga 10th race – Post: 6:16 ET. Degree of confidence: A-
Top Selection: 7-Zulu Kingdom (Ire).
Other Contenders: none.

Forecast: Zulu Kingdom (Ire) turned some heads in his debut at Saint-Cloud in France in early June, winning with authority with an impressive display of late speed against a representative group of European juvenile maidens in a performance that stamped him as a future star. Now in the C. Brown barn, the Irish-bred colt makes his stateside bow in this year’s edition of the With Anticipation S.-G3 and lands F. Prat, so we’re expecting him to pick up where he left off in France. This seems like a fairly decent field but with no world beaters, so at 4-1 on the morning line he’ll offer reasonable wagering value, especially so as a rolling exotic single.
