Saratoga Springs, NY

By Joseph Aiello “From the Spa” returns to keep you up-to-date on horses bred in the mid-Atlantic racing in Saratoga stakes. The Grade I Alfred G Vanderbilt Stakes is run annually at Saratoga for three year olds and upwards at six furlongs on the dirt. This year, the Vanderbilt features a field of six in race six on Saturday’s card. A few Saratoga success stories such as the impressive 7/2 Baby Yoda and Subrogate of the same morning line enter to take on Steve Asmussen’s Skelly who sits at 6/5. While these runners along with the inside breaking Nakatomi all appear to have legitimate winning chances on paper, the 20/1 long shot Twisted Ride faces an uphill battle in his first grade I test. Bred in Pennsylvania by Kasey K Racing Stable, Twisted Ride has shown good ability in sprint distances and is in top form, but faces a group with a bit more early speed than he is accustomed. Even if this five year old gelding by Great Notion – Diva’s Gold, by Tenpins doesn’t end up winning, finishing in the money amongst this class would be a great accomplishment, already boasting a nineteen for twenty-five lifetime record in the top three.

Trainer Ned Allard brought a pair of sprinters to Laurel Park Sunday, and his Delaware Park-based duo liked it just fine. Three races after Sunny Breeze blew into town to win the Concern Stakes, Allard’s newest old horse, the five-year-old Dean Delivers, in Allard’s barn for just a few months, zipped to the front and fended off all comers to win the $150,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash.

Dean Delivers strikes again in De Francis Dash

Late Pick 5 — $0 other handicapping here!. RACE 1: CLAIMING $12,500 (CONDITIONED), 3-YEAR-OLDS AND UP, FILLIES AND MARES, 7 FURLONGS. Happy DeFrancis Dash day to all who celebrate! #5 Tina Tina Tina (3-1) gets the slight nod in this wide-open contest. She’s run well in her last few starts on this track, and was hard-chasing third to Sheherhers and Remember Me in her last start, both of whom are better than anyone she’ll see here. #7 Determined Blue (7-2) drops in class after facing better in her last few starts, and stretches out from sub-six furlong contests. She should prompt the pace from the outside and pounce. #1 Argentina Girl (4-1) set the pace and just missed with a big performance at Aqueduct three races back. She’s struggled in her last two starts around two turns, but now cuts back in distance and should control the pace from the inside.

Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.
