Saratoga Sat.Aug.2 Free Picks 3 G1’s Whitney, Test, Vanderbilt
Saratoga has another amazing race card set up for Saturday August 2 with no less than 3 G1’s: the Alfred G Vanderbilt, Test, and Whitney.
The headliner Whitney is a veritable who’s who of great recent Triple Crown winners and others who finished in the money in the TC races and other G1’s.
Here’s a look at the field for the $1.5 million Whitney Handicap.
1 Will Take Charge 4-1 S0 2 Prayer For Relief 20-1 P3 3 Moreno 10-1 E5 4 Itsmyluckyday 12-1 EP7 5 Palace Malice 1-1 EP6 6 Departing 6-1 P4 7 Romansh 10-1 EP5 8 Golden Ticket 20-1 S2 9 Last Gunfighter 15-1 P2
On paper, the pace sets up perfectly for the front runners since there are only 3 and none of them are blazing speedsters. It’s definitely Palace Malice’s race to lose but wouldn’t be surprising if Moreno or Itsmyluckyday gets out front and never concedes the lead.
