Secrets Unveiled: Who Will Dominate Whitney Day at Saratoga’s ‘The Spa’?

Ten horses on a one-mile Inner Turf course for four-year-olds and upward with a $750,000 purse. 

#1 Cugino (10-1). We could get a better price than 10-1 when this race goes off because this is Cugino’s Saratoga debut, and he hasn’t won a graded stakes race in four attempts. I’m overlooking his inexperience at The Spa because jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. is the winningest jockey in this meet (as of July 31), and has won jockey of the summer at Saratoga several times. 

Meanwhile, Cugino has never been lower than 7-1. Finally, he’s run a 90+ Beyer speed figure in four of his last five races, including the fastest (93) in a win at Aqueduct last month, and Cugino ran the fastest four-furlong time at a July 20 work on turf with 50 other horses.
