SARATOGA TURF COURSE LISTED AS GOOD
main track muddy and sealed

BAllston Spa scratches #2 Path of THunder, #13 Capeside Lady, #14 Ender's Sister #15 and # 16 draw in but don't pose much of a threat


Saratoga 9th) #1 Continental Reins- steps up condition after winning on inner turf in July- My first black booker of Saratoga meet finally runs back
#5 Gryffindor- not a black booker but traine dby my personal favorite-turf genius and steeplchase trainer extraordinaire Tommy Voss who has not won a flat race at Saratoga this meet. He AlWAYS does! THis horse looks very game and is 3-1-1-1- over the Sar. Turf with his last race being a game closing 3rd to next out stakes winner DAVE. Voss usually uses Jean-Luc "On the Green" Samyn who is getting a little long in the tooth, but today uses, who else but turf master Ramon "Dominator"(just penned that one but he needs some kind of nick name if he's gonna ride with the big boys) Dominguez. It tells me Voss (of John's Call fame- oldest horse to win a grade 1 at Belmont and a game and troubled close up 3rd in the Breeder's Cup Turf that same year at 9) is ready to strike
