Saratoga fires the final 6 shots of its longest racing year in history, beginning Wednesday and running through Labor Day Monday. Two-year-olds are spotlighted, first in the Race 2 $150,000 Funny Cide for New York-breds and then open-company turfers in the Race 8 $150,000 P.G. Johnson Stakes.

Saratoga | Race 4 | 2:52 pm ET

#5 Belouni (7-2 morning line odds) wheels right back off a similar victory July 20 over the course in a brazen attempt at the win-and-claim situation while not rising in class. Trainer Chad Brown ran up the score with a massive closing week at Saratoga last year and expect prolific win totals again this week. Win bet #5.


Saratoga | Race 6 | 4:00 pm ET

#3 Noguchi (7-2 morning line) should relish the inside draw while stretching out around 2 turns for the first time. Second straight class drop to a very winnable spot as Chad Brown’s closing-week 2024 featured an incredible 14 victories and $2.13 ROI for every $1 bet. Expecting more of that this week. Win bet #3.
