Horse Racing on dirt at Santa Anita

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Thursday, including at Saratoga race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time and are up +282.66 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Saratoga.

3:21 pm ET Saratoga (Race 5) – Fearless 4/5 (3-star play)

Fearless has proven at a higher level having registered a number of victories in Graded company including when winning by six lengths in the mile-and-one-eighth Grade 3 Ghostzapper Stakes at Gulfstream Park at the start of April. Runner-up at Oaklawn Park subsequently, but resume winning ways upped to a mile-and-a-half when taking out the Grade 2 Brooklyn Stakes.

The six-year-old had his rival here Lone Rock back in third in the Brooklyn and looks up to confirming that form upped in distance.

5:05 pm ET Saratoga (Race 8) – Price Discipline 4/5 (3-star play)

Price Discipline debuted with an impressive four-and-a-quarter-length victory in a mile maiden special weight at Belmont Park at the end of May. He raced from off the pace that day, but was ridden closer to the speed when beaten a head into second in a mile-and-one-sixteenth allowance contest at the same venue just under a month ago.

An extra sixteenth here should prove no issue and he looks up to helping trainer Chad Brown improve on his 23% strike-rate (9/39) at this meeting.

5:39 pm ET Saratoga (Race 9) – Balthus 2/1 (2-star play)

He broke his maiden at the fourth time of asking when drawing six lengths clear of his rivals in the straight to take a mile-and-a quarter maiden special weight event on a good turf track at Belmont Park in May. He also completed a double upped an eighth in distance on a firm turf course in an allowance at the same venue at the end of last month. Balthus remains open to improvement and the expensive yearling purchase is selected to complete a hat-trick.
