Inside Saratoga’s Jim Dandy Stakes: Dark Horses Poised to Shock the Spa This Saturday
Originally, I was betting #10 Playing With Fire to win and singling her in my Late Pick 5, until she was scratched this morning. Now, I’m pivoting to the second betting choice, #4 Lavender Disaster (5-2), who finished third in the Wild Applause in Saratoga earlier this month, behind Playing With Fire and the first betting choice, #5 Classic Q (2-1).ÂÂ
Lavender Disaster has “tactical speed,” whereas Classic Q runs faster at the start and slows down at the end. In fact, Classic Q has finished fourth and seventh in her only two races longer than one mile. Since there is a dropoff from the three aforementioned horses to the rest of the field, all Lavender Disaster needs to do is outrun Classic Q.ÂÂ
