Saratoga
A logical choice
At 9h00, on August 9, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On August 9th in Saratoga in the 5th race (7 Furlongs | Dirt), a $ 20 Win and Placed bet on No 6 Desert Lights (5/1) as well as a $ 3 Exacta on 6 with 1,3,5,9, an Exacta at $ 1 on 1,3,5,9 with 6 and a Key Trifecta at $ 2 on 6 with 1,3,5,9. No. 9 Potomac is established as a big favorite at 1/1. This $ 350,000 paid horse shows us an only win in eight starts with $ 29,000 winnings in addition to having changed his “Coach” hand four times and he finds himself in a $ 16,000 claim. No 6 Desert Lights will be back on the ground after competing in a field race in a higher class where he finished seventh. The time of the race was however very fast (1:20:1) on seven Furlongs and he gained ground in the straight line.
