| Be your best (iRe) Grate home in the Gamely G1 |
Welcome Friends of the Turk -Blog, where I specialize in analyzing and disabilities of peat races, generally about grass routes, disputed by 4 -year -old and up, and there are exact bets of building. I have been a handicapper since the summer that I spent in 1986 in Saratoga Springs. People who visit Saratoga Springs are often surprised to see an American naval base on the outskirts of the city. When I was there, the military base did not exist, but the reason for the base still does it, the nuclear power plant in Ballston Spa, NY, where I learned to serve nuclear reactors and steam plants before I spent 6 years on a submarine. I loved my time like a young man who lived in Saratoga. I lived in Jumel Street, a short walk to the track. I had a Skidmore friend. Life seemed perfect and I wish I could have placed that time in a bottle, but life doesn’t work that way. Anyway, today Ballston Spa Grade 2 Race reminds me of those times.
The weather must be dry, I assume it is peat company, but check this link for Scratches and changes and grass progress. Keep an eye on that horse in my miniature, Be your best (iRe) Scratch and defect to Colonial’s fake “Arlington Million Day” and Freedom speaks entered August 7 in Sar.
Just a little video, because I don’t think you should think this race too much.
May 26, 2025; In the Gamely G1; 1 1/8 miles on sturdy peat
June 14, 2025; MTH; The Eatontown StakeS G3; 1 1/16 miles on good turf. Whiskey decision, Maggie Go, Ozara.
August 8, 2025; Sar; The Ballston Spa G2; 1 1/16 mile
Things become interesting when the supposed chalk, Be your best (iRe) scratches, and just like I type the scratches for Be your best And Freedom speaks comes in.
I really keep it simple. I like the true late turn of foot Whiskey decision. 2 more than 3-6-7, a $ 2 Exacta for $ 6.
