He did give Ginger Punch some kind of ride. That's some heart on that filly. As for the Whitney, Rising Moon was hung wide early and if you look at where he was placed, he did not take too kindly to having dirt kicked in his face. For that matter, none of the others did either. The quick rain before the Whitney really helped Commentator; but that was still some performance from him. Haha.

Even if he was fast enough, I don't think the race plays to his favor. It would shock me if anyone in the top three or four at first call get the distance. Plus, Saratoga has been playing quite fair for the sustaining runners due to all the rain they've received this week. If it rains today, the rail might go dead again and that would benefit closers breaking fromt he outside posts, and they usually pay big prices. Cowtown Cat would be a big surprise for me.

I think Bejarano could be the X-factor here. I really wish Giant Gizmo was still in this one.
