  1. Monmouth - Race 7

     

    #9 Biedermeier (6/1 ml)

     

    Been waiting on this guy to turn up for a couple of weeks now. 3yo firster for Pletcher was involved in a 3-horse team drill from the gate back on 7/19 with 2yo barnmate Bullheaded Boy and a Graham Motion trainee named Strong Coffee. Both of those horses came out of that drill to win their respective debuts. In addition, Pletcher snuck a similar-type horse over to Monmouth last weekend (Chase Lane) to win @ 5/1 odds (that one had worked from the gate with the above-mentioned Blame Jim several weeks back). This is also the longer half of an uncoupled entry (Pletcher also trains #8 Cosmo Blue, 3/1 ml), and Pletcher definitely has a history of winning with the longer half in such instances. Speaking of which, Biedermeier and Cosmo Blue just worked h/u together @ Monmouth in preparation for this race, so there's really no reason at all why Biedermeier should be listed at twice the price of his entrymate. Good value here.

  2. Saratoga - Race 5

     

    #7 Back Flip (3/1 ml)

     

    Pletcher 2yo comes off a heads-up drill with Blame Jim, who was one of the most impressive 2yo winners of the meet so far. She also worked h/u back on July 24 with Feathered, who came out of that drill to run second by a head (in 1:10.55) a couple of weks ago. Nice price here too, as she current sits @ 4/1 with about 15 mtp.
