From the Spa: July 27 Midlantic-breds in Saratoga stakes
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.
