Saturday Stakes, Part I
July 10, 2008
Grade 2 American Derby
This should be a relatively easy wire to wire win for Greg Fox’s Tizdejavu. He is undefeated in two starts on the turf, and has speed to spare. He beat Sailors Cap two races back, and the latter would come back to capture the Colonial Turf Cup. Irish invader Great War Eagle should be in the thick of it. He has ran second in two Grade 3 events overseas, but will be stretching out for the first time. I look for Prime Realestate to get up late for third.
1st- Tizdejavu
2nd Great War Eagle
3rd- Prime Realestate
Plays:
$1 Trifecta (2/1,6,7,8/1,6,7,8
$20 WIN on Tizdejavu
Grade 2 Delaware Handicap
I’m going to go with Hystericalady in what is a very competitive race. She won by 7 lengths last out at Churchill Downs, but will have to go through Unbridled Belle and Spring Waltz. Unbridled Belle took this race with ease last year, and won her first race of 2008 in June. Spring Waltz has been bulletproof lately, winning four races in a row. Her last victory came in the Grade 2 Rampart Handicap in which she split rivals to win easily. No telling who will take this one, but my money is on Hystericalady.
1st- Hystericalady
2nd- Unbridled Belle
3rd- Spring Waltz
Plays:
$1 Trifecta (8,9/8,9,10/2,4,8,9,10)
