Copper Bullet Looks Special in Saratoga
Love the idea that Copper Bullet (5-2) has three races worth of experience, was tested in a CD Grade 3, in which he had a little trouble, draws the outside and today's hybrid distance should work his his advantage.
Taking Copper Bullet to win, no price restrictions, and an exacta box with Diamond Oops (7-2)

Hoping to Make the Grade--Twice--at the Spa
Like Mark Casse, just a few too many a seconds and thirds at this meet.
Well, I'm going to try to bust us both out of our mini-slumps, either that or bust us both out completely.
Grade 2 ADIRONDACK: We were impressed with Sly Roxy's (5-2) debut. Taking Sly Roxy to win at 2-1 or greater.
Grade 1 FOURSTARDAVE: Thinking the cutback to one mile will make the difference. Taking World Approval (9-2) to win at 4-1 or greater and an exacta box with Time Test (8-5).

Runaway and Hide This Weekend
Everything points to a Weekend Hideaway (5-2) in today's Tale of the Cat (cross-entered as Main Track Only in G1 Fourstardave Saturday).
Phil Serpe trained surface lover (8) 4-1-0 fits today's conditions perfectly for horses that have not won a graded stakes this year. He's fresh, he's fast, is very likely to appreciate the turn-back into a sprint and has been working strongly locally.
Taking Weekend Hideaway to win at 2-1 or greater and key-boxing exactas with Jacobson's uncoupled pair, class-dropping Stallwalkin' Dude (7-5) and potential price shot Chief Lion (8-1) with Paco.
