Back to Saratoga

An excellent evening for my picks this side of the Atlantic as Turbulent Descent and Tizway blazed clear of their respective opposition to win with lengths to spare. Today it's the turn of the sprinters at Saratoga in the Vanderbilt Handicap.

Saratoga (Fast)
5.45 (10.45BST) $250,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (Grade 1) 6f, 3-year-olds+ (8 runners)
Noble's Promise (KG McPeek/Andy Garcia) 10/1ew or Apriority (David Fawkes/Ramon Dominguez) 4/1
Noble's Promise took the Grade 3 Aristides Stakes at Churchill Downs in June before finishing third in a Grade 2 handicap last time out while carrying top weight. Apriority has finished second in all three of his big race runs this year, including in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes in May.
