NEW YORK — By Chris Lomon
Spotlight Race:
$300,000 Troy Stakes (G2) at Saratoga
Date:
Sunday, August 3 (Race 8, 5:10 pm ET )
What to do with a $20 Bet:
$4 Daily Double- #3 Bring Theband Home with #3 Gene and Jude, #5 Jhirsch, #6 Back in the Saddle, #7 Willintoriskitall and #8 Patrick’s Promise
The Reason:
If we can bring big fave Bring Theband Home in the eighth race, we’ll leave the opening line favorite coupled entry off the ticket in the ninth race and hope to get a decent payout with one of our five hopefuls.
