It’s the biggest day of the 1/ST BET Kentucky Downs racing season with stakes galore and co-features in the $2 million Kentucky Turf Cup and $3 million 1/ST BET Nashville Derby.The 1/ST BET and Xpressbet daily $3,000 Exacta-Thon continues. Be sure to register for your chance at the bonus cash with winning exactas ($2 minimum) in at least 3 of races.Let’s get to work.Kentucky Downs: Race 6 | 4:21 pm ET#10 My Boy Prince (9-2 morning line odds) is super-consistent in turf sprints and should get a fast pace to close into. Horses prepped at Colonial typically offer overlay value at this meeting and it never hurts to retain John Velazquez through the transition.Exacta-Thon plays: 10 over 1,4,6Kentucky Downs: Race 7 | 4:56 pm ET#7 Burnham Square (2-1 morning line odds) will be tested for class against 4 international shippers, but he’s been America’s best turf horse this year and I expect old-school trainer Ian Wilkes to have him peaking in a money race like this. Defending champ #8 Ole Crazy Bone obviously proven over the trip and track for a Mike Maker barn that’s won this race 6 times. I’ll stand against the international runners, who’ve yet to win the Kentucky Turf Cup.Exacta-Thon plays: 7,8 with 7,8,3Kentucky Downs: Race 10 | 6:49 pm ET#3 Ground Support (10-1 morning line odds) debuted a 100-1 winner here last year and should love the cut-back in trip after a curious trip in the San Clemente at Del Mar. Bullet works since are encouraging. Offspring of Army Mule have won 31% over this turf course the last 5 years and I’ll hang my hat here. Love the Kantharos offspring on this course sprinting so beware #7 Somerset West cutting back in trip out of that same San Clemente. Great chance to get longshots involved here.Exacta-Thon plays: Key-box 3 with 1,7,12,10Kentucky Downs: Race 11 | 7:23 pm ET#1 Grade A (9-2 morning line odds) is another Army Mule filly that could pop Saturday at Kentucky Downs. She was an even fourth over the course last year and comes into her return in arguably better form in recent starts. The 7-furlong distance appears to be her best trip and will be finishing strong under Luan Machado.Exacta-Thon plays: 1 over 2,5,6,7

Woodbine Mohawk Park will be shining on Saturday night with a loaded 13-race card. The headliners are the $705,000 Canadian Pacing Derby and $620,000 Maple Leaf Trot. The Spot Plays are in Race 6, Race 8, and Race 10 and can be used in Win Bets. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 6 (8:36 PM EDT)6-D A Alljokesaside (3-1)-This will be the biggest test for the 2-year-old and so far, it looks like $18,000 well spent. Mark MacDonald can have the freshmen in striking range and it does like to roll late. Draws the choice post and it should be all systems go.Race 8 (9:26 PM EDT)3-Emoticon Legacy (5/2)-Hasn't beat the 6/5 morning line choice Super Chapter this year. But this 4-year-old is sharp and loves Mohawk (14-8-3-0). Finished a 1/2 length behind the chalk last week and trotted the last panel in 26.2 which was .3 faster. Driver Bob McClure could be in line for a pocket ride early on and will look forward to watching tonight's stretch drive.Race 10 (10:21 PM EDT)6-Prince Hal Hanover (4-1)-Put on a big show last week in the Elim and finally sealed the deal for the first time since June. Left from post 9 and got the top eventually into a 53.2 1st half. Should offer a fair price and has hit the board in 12 of 14 at Mohawk with 4 pictures. Starts from the choice post. Todd McCarthy should have the pedal down and land in an up-close seat. Hasn't won 2 straight since May and can double up here off the last performance.Check me out on X!

A trio of Saturday stakes includes the Tranquility Lake, Del Mar Juvenile Turf the Grade 1 Del Ma Debutante as the summer stand hits its final 3 days. I’ve got horses running back second time at the meet that I loved their most recent efforts and ready to unleash in today’s stakes action.Each day this summer at Del Mar, I’ll be handicapping the action with my top plays on the card – including full-card selections for a featured program each week (this week’s full-card will be Sunday – featuring the Del Mar Futurity).Del Mar: Race 4 | 6:02 pm ET#4 Irish Prophet (6-1 morning line odds) had to drop back farther than desired from outside draws in his last 2 starts and should be more into the race from post 4 and with a jockey change to speed rider Emisael Jaramillo. Love that he was back on the workout tab 5 days after his last race and could move way forward. Win #4. Exacta Box 4-5. Picks 4-5-2Del Mar: Race 7 | 7:33 pm ET#4 Golden Sentry (5-1 morning line odds), Cal-bred or not, here he comes. Fantastic debut sprint winner is bred to be a miler and got a field-best 90 BRIS late pace figure in an eye-opening unveiling. The Carla Gaines barn has been going well the second half of the meet and this gelding fired a bullet workout upon his return to the tab after that initial victory. Win 4. Exacta key-box 4 with 8,3. Picks 4-8-3Del Mar: Race 10 | 9:03 pm ET#2 Dear Diary (8-1 morning line odds). Massive gallop-out when second behind a speed-pop winner in her debut. Went directly onto my watch list and excited to see them take a big stakes shot in the Del Mar Debutante and not be odds-on against maidens. She had been working with Grade 1 winner Subsanador prior to his Pacific Classic appearance, such a rarity for a 2-year-old filly to be paired with a horse of that caliber. Win 2. Exacta 2-9 larger, backup 9-2. Daily Doubles 2-7 bigger, 2-4 smaller. Picks 2-9-8-1.Del Mar: Race 11 | 9:33 pm ET#7 Owl (5-1 morning line odds) has pace versatility and looks to be sitting on go as veteran trainer Neil Drysdale goes to jockey Joel Rosario, a 27% winning combo with a profitable ROI. Owl returned to the workout tab 6 days after a decent fourth vs. similar last time and should continue to ascend. Keep an eye on #4 Jaguar Jon for an Andy Mathis barn that has a remarkable final-week record at Del Mar over the past decade-plus. Picks 7-4-6.

Among the richest races run in the United States each year, this year’s G2 1/ST BET Nashville Derby will be heavily focused on the European contingent that is traveling to Kentucky Downs in Franklin, Kentucky. Trainers Aidan O’Brien, Joseph O’Brien, Hugo Palmer, and Andreas Wohler will be represented in this three-year-old clash, meaning the American runners will have their work cut out for them. Below you’ll find my fair win odds for all the runners scheduled to take part, as well as my thoughts on which contenders I find most appealing.1 – Royal Causeway / 3% / 32-12 – Royal Guard / 4% / 24-13 – Glacius (pictured) / 32% / 2-14 – Carolina St. Beat / 2% / 49-15 – Versailles Road / 4% / 24-16 – Causeway / 20% / 4-17 – Fuzzbuster / 1% / 99-18 – Fancy Sailor / 5% / 19-19 – Gostam / 9% / 10-110 – Go Grey / 5% / 19-111 – Nil Bua Gan Dua / 14% / 6-112 – Blackmail / 1% / 99-1Given the way races have been won at Kentucky Downs so far this meet (only one horse has come from more than a length back between the quarter pole and eighth pole to win) and the success of last-out Saratoga form (11-for-29 as of Friday; 37.9%), GLACIUS (3) looks extremely tough in the Nashville Derby. One of the European shippers, the Hugo Palmer trainee blitzed the field at Saratoga en route to victory in the G1 Saratoga Derby last month. The pace scenario of that race isn’t much different than the one projected in the Nashville Derby, and a part of me wonders if he’s just the kind of horse that wants to run freely on his own. While his European form wasn’t bad, by no means was it exceptional, either. My hypothesis for that is twofold; not only was he taking on better company, but he was attempting to beat said company by rallying from off the pace. Look for Luis Saez to have Glacius forwardly placed throughout on Saturday; if he repeats his Saratoga Derby, he likely emerges victorious.CAUSEWAY (6) got the acid test in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp in mid-July, only to effectively be eased during the running. The softer going could have been to blame for the poor effort, or perhaps he found the competition slightly too much to handle. Either way, he looks to make amends and get back to the winner’s circle for Aidan O’Brien and company, with Ryan Moore making the trip over to ride. While not convinced he’s quite as quick early as Glacius, one would expect Causeway to be forwardly placed given the way Kentucky Downs races have been run. Assuming he bounces back from the dull effort in Paris, his best gives him a big chance to take down the top prize.NIL BUA GAN DUA (11) is another European who possesses the “correct” running style necessary to be successful in a race like the Nashville Derby. Trained by Joseph O’Brien, the son of American Pharoah has figured prominently in races at longer trips, but with Ben Curtis doing the riding it’s safe to assume this three-year-old will be more forward than not by the time the field hits the climb up the backside. As a Kentucky bred, Nil Bua Gan Dua is eligible for the full purse on offer in this $3 million dollar event. Expect a credible effort from him here.Of the Americans, FANCY SAILOR (8) is on an upward trajectory for trainer Brian Lynch. If the race off the layoff in early May is excused, the son of Justify has done nothing wrong in his career, including back-to-back victories in his last two races – albeit at much shorter trips. Now, stretching out the 10.5 furlongs of the Nashville Derby, Fancy Sailor gets to prove if he’s capable of taking another step forward for his connections. If so, the real question gets asked: is a forward step enough to be competitive against the Euro imports or is it simply good enough to round out the exotics?THE PICKS: 3-6-11-8THE PLAY: WIN – 3) Glacius to win at odds of 2-1 or greater

The final Saturday of the 2026 Saratoga season offers racing fans a 12-race card headlined by the Spinaway (G1) for 2YO fillies at seven-furlongs. The featured event goes as Race 11 on a card filled with strong 2YO racing from start-to-finish. Here are my full card thoughts on the slate that kicks at 12:05 PM eastern.Grade Descriptions: A= Highest Degree of Confidence, B= Solid Play, C= Least Preferred or Pass, X= Likely Winner but at odds probably too short to wager on.Race 1:Grade: B+Use: 1 U.S.S. Valor/2 Mystrix; 8 Implied OpenForecast: #1 U.S.S. Valor ran too well to lose in his first career start back on August 8. The Team Valor International homebred got off to a brutal start almost hitting the rail, but jockey Tyler Gaffalione was able to keep him in the race and put in a strong late run to lose by less than a length. Trainer Shug McGaughey does not win often with debut runners these days, so the fact this son of War of Will ran that well at first asking after the terrible start suggests big things for this colt’s future. He should have no issue with the extra half furlong and besting this field with a cleaner voyage in lifetime try number two.Race 2: With Anticipation (G3)Grade: XUse: 3 High Official; 4 Bold LeadershipForecast: Todd Pletcher holds an extremely strong hand in this year’s With Anticipation. The Hall of Fame conditioner brings the three favorites into the 1 1/16-miles event for 2YOs over the Inner Turf. #3 High Official clearly caught the eye earning a strong 99 late pace Bris rating in his two-length win on July 26. He looms large in his first start versus winners, but #4 Bold Leadership’s effort last time out was probably equally impressive despite losing a tough photo by a nose. The son of Not This Time was caught four-wide into the first turn and lost a ton of ground throughout the 8.5-furlong journey, yet still kept coming and only lost because the eventual winner got a much better trip along the inside. Both Pletcher runners have big upsides and will attempt to run down #2 Liam’s Law, who could be loose on the lead. I expect one of them if not both to get by the third Pletcher runner in the first of two stakes events on the agenda.Race 3:Grade: C+Use: 5 Thirteen Colonies; 4 Highlands WayForecast: #7 Favorable Scenario was made the 8-5-ML favorite by oddsmaker David Aragona after his second consecutive runner-up effort at Saratoga in 2026. The son of Good Magic gets blinkers for the first time, but is one I am willing to try to beat with his lone victory coming over a year ago by a head. #4 Highlands Way is probably the best horse in the race, but could be pace compromised given an overall lack of early zip signed on. I will hope that Ricardo Santana Jr. gives #5 Thirteen Colonies an aggressive ride from the gate to attempt to take advantage of a possible moderate early tempo. If Santana, can get this Hit It a Bomb gelding to the front early, he has a shot to steal it despite a poor effort off the ten-month layoff in July. The price should be fair.Race 4:Grade: C+Use: 2 Stewie; 4 Three B’s; 7 B ThedonaldForecast: The pace should be contentious in this state-bred second-level allowance event at 6.5-furlongs over the main track. #7 B Thedonald is one of the more obvious ones that could potentially take advantage. The son of Girvin ran a solid second in the Mike Lee at odds of nearly 19-1 before flopping at this level in early July. Trainer Horacio De Paz has reportedly gelded this 3YO since and now brings him back for his first start since. He makes sense with Flavien Prat taking the call, but I prefer the likely value of #2 Stewie and #4 Three B’s. Three B’s moves back to his preferred surface after a couple of months off from trainer Linda Rice and could be the one making the final move. Long shot #2 Stewie is likely to be closer to the early pace, but is far from a need the lead type. Trainer Mitchell Friedman took the blinkers off for the first time in his 33-race career on August 16 and it led to one of his best lifetime efforts. He appears capable of being in the mix late, if Ricardo Santana Jr. can work out a favorable pocket type trip from his inside draw.Race 5:Grade: CUse: 2 Joy of Life; 6 Aerial AffairForecast: I lack a strong opinion unfortunately in this seven-furlong affair for 2YO fillies over the main track. #6 Aerial Affair has been the best of those with experience thus far, but has been well-beaten by dominant winners in both of her first two starts making her tough to get excited about it at her likely off-odds. #2 Joy of Life intrigues enough to make my top choice. The daughter of Speaker’s Corner broke sharp from her far outside draw on debut, but was underwhelming the rest of the way losing by 13 lengths despite finishing third. There does not appear to be any world beaters debuting in this spot, so I will hope the experience and the extra half furlong leads to a much improved effort from the Bill Mott trainee.Race 6:Grade: B-Use: 5 Reasoned AnalysisForecast: 5-2-ML favorite #5 Reasoned Analysis makes his third start off the long layoff for trainer Chad Brown. The Upstart gelding has competed in two races out of the Wilson chute, including last time out when he was clearly best despite finishing second beaten a head. The Klaravich Stables runner did all the dirty work battling early, disposing of the other speed easily, and fighting all the way to the wire under Dylan Davis on August 1. The pace is likely to be less contentious in this spot making him the clear one to beat.Race 7:Grade: B-Use: 8 Jackpot Rocket; 5 Pops Novo; 6 ElectroForecast: #3 True Essence ships into New York after a late running second place finish in a 5.5-furlong MSW event at Ellis Park on August 2. More ground and a better setup should help the son of Essential Quality, but the lack of speed and never being in contention until it was too late on debut makes him tough to endorse at his 3-1-ML offering. I will try to beat the favorite with a pair of runners, including top choice #8 Jackpot Rocket. The Tapit colt makes the second start of his career after a solid third place run to Pinpoint on August 1. It was interesting that Junior Alvarado stuck around New York that day instead of taking more obvious stakes mounts elsewhere, but the fact he only rode two firsters suggests someone in that camp likely believed this colt has some serious upside. He should take a big step forward in his second lifetime try. Of the debut runners, I like #5 Pops Novo most. Whit Beckman has been much better at Saratoga with 2YO debut runners than his overall numbers may suggest. This son of Corniche commanded seven figures back in March at the OBS sale suggesting he looked the part. Both colts have the upside to beat this group at solid prices.Race 8:Grade: BUse: 3 Artemis TwoForecast: Trainer Brad Cox enters #3 Artemis Two off of several works over the Turfway Park synthetic in this two-turn MSW event for 2YOs over the Inner Turf. The son of McKinzie has plenty of distance and grass pedigree on the dam side and Cox’s numbers with juveniles debuting over the Saratoga sod at a route of ground over the last three years is eye-popping. Cox has sent out six first-time starters in two-turn grass debuts at the Spa in that time span with four crossing the wire first. This colt draws favorably along the inside and likely is live at first asking.Race 9:Grade: B-Use: 3 Ortley AvenueForecast: #3 Ortley Avenue makes his second start off a year layoff for trainer George Weaver after showing big speed off the bench from his far outside draw, but being unable to hold off the eventual winner in the final strides. The 4YO colt had to work early to make the front from the outside, but draws inside in a race where he appears to be the speed of the speed. His three seconds in five starts is slightly concerning, but if he makes an easy lead that is unlikely to matter in the start of the late Pick 4.Race 10:Grade: BUse: 7 Iron DomeForecast: The pace should be honest and contentious in this first-level allowance at 1 1/8-miles over the main track. Many will look to #5 Preside or #4 Lion of Justice to take advantage, but both have too many questions to answer for me at their likely final prices. I will instead try #8 Iron Dome again. The Into Mischief colt was caught five-wide into the first turn and remained wide throughout on a day where the outside was probably not where you wanted to be on the Saratoga main track last month. North America’s all-time leading trainer Steve Asmussen wheeled him back on short rest in that August 1 start, but has given him far more time to freshen up for this one. Plus, he meets a softer bunch. He should run a lot better than last time out at a solid price.Race 11: Spinaway (G1)Grade: B-Use: 4 Stress Relief; 8 Life Changing/7 Angel of Kirk; 2 Summer StarletForecast: Trainer Johnny Ortiz won both the Adirondack (G3) and the Spinaway in 2023 with Brightwork. #4 Stress Relief attempts to do similar in her third career start for trainer Kinnon LaRose. The Not This Time filly dazzled in her debut, but admittedly the race has not come back that strong at Churchill. She followed it up though with a big move forward on the class hike over this surface at the tricky 6.5-furlong distance. She obviously meets the toughest field in her career, but is a good bet at anything close to her 8-1-ML price. #2 Summer Starlet, #8 Life Changing, and #7 Angel of Kirk all won impressively over this surface on debut and have unlimited upsides. Of the three, I prefer Life Changing a touch in this spot. The outside draw, natural speed, and presence of Flavien Prat are all at least somewhat noteworthy. That said, I will likely focus my wagering on my top choice.Race 12:Grade: XUse: 3 OriForecast: #3 Ori is unlikely to offer much value in the finale, but looks like the right horse nonetheless in this optional claimer at two-turns on the grass. The Hard Spun mare makes her second start of the summer in Saratoga after tackling better on July 4. She gets Flavien Prat, a favorable post, and has the speed to find a prominent spot early. Looks like a formful result to close the card.

A full field of 12 California-bred 2-year-old fillies are entered in the Generous Portion Stakes this Friday at Del Mar. The $100,000 featured race is part of a Late 50-cent Pick 4 that shapes up this way;Del Mar Race 5 (7:00 p.m. EST) Taking nothing to chance in this $20,000 maiden claimer. POTICA should run well on the drop from the MSW ranks. THIRSTY CAITLIN beat POTICA twice in photo-finish setbacks but was well-beaten in her last two starts. CLUB MAYO had a useful, wide trip as a beaten first-out favorite. Hit the ‘ALL’ button in the leadoff leg.Del Mar Race 6 (7:30 p.m. EST)  DAYTONA DIAMOND, hard to load and under urging on the backstretch, inhaled rivals on the turn and ran away from the 4-to-5 runner-up and two other follow-up MSW winners in her debut. Trainer Carla Gaines is 7-for-34 since October 2024 with second-out starters. PALO ALTO BABY won by 9 lengths in wire-to-wire fashion in her first start for a $50,000 claiming tag, despite being kept off the rail on the turn and being geared down late. Only one of her rivals that day, however, have posted a 40-plus Beyer speed figure, so use DAYTONA DIAMOND as a solo play in the Generous Portion Stakes.Del Mar Race 7 (8:00 p.m. EST)  DREAM SEEKER saved ground behind the pace-setting favorite until the stretch, angled out 4-wide and finished a willing third in the same spot. WILDCATTER saved ground throughout, lost some momentum midway on the final turn and was moved up to second via disqualification after he regrouped. Post 10 is no bargain, but he should get plenty of pace to rally into. VIREVOLTE will try to follow the footsteps of his dam, Place des Vosges, a solid allowance runner for trainer Richard Baltas with a 24/4-6-3 turf record and $218k in earnings.Del Mar Race 8 (8:30 p.m. EST) GOT’M COT’M is in top form and appears rounding to another good effort in his third start on the main track this year. He kept the 4-to-5 favorite in his sights, drew even in mid-stretch and dug in the prevail with a career-best 84 Beyer. Note that the favorite, Howie’s Law, posted a 91 Beyer in a next-out romp and ran 1-2/5 seconds faster in his maiden-breaking win two starts prior on the same day FORD FRENZY – a major contender in this race – romped to his first victory. DRIFTING AND DREAMING hopped in air at the start of his debut, gained perfect stalking position off the dueling leaders and edge away late in a $50,000 maiden claimer. Trainer John Sadler is 13/4-2-3 with second-out repeaters in the last two years.Suggested Late Pick 4 TicketDMR 5th Race: ALLDMR 6th Race: 7 (If scratched, use #2)DMR 7th Race: 2, 5, 10DMR 8th Race: 2, 6, 11Cost for a 50-cent ticket: $45
