At 9h00, on August 18, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On August 18th in Saratoga in the 9th race (1¼ M | Main), The Alabama Stake Grade 1 ($ 600,000), a $ 20 Win and Placed bet on No 8 Talk Widow To Me (5/2), an Exacta of $ 3 on 8 with 3,4, an Exacta Box of $ 1 on 8 with 3,4,6 and a Trifecta of $1 on 8 with 2,3,4,6,7 and a $ 1 Trifecta on horses 3,4,6 with 8 with 2,3,4,6,7. Steven Asmussen (25 %) has two horses: No 4 She’s A Julie, winner of a G3 by five lengths and No 3 favorite Midnight Bisou (7/5), winner of G3, G2 and G1 and more than $ 800,000 in career. The latter is the horse to beat with four wins in six starts in Stakes and both defeats were versus champion Monomoy Girl. No 8 Talk Widow To Me is less experienced but has shown tremendous potential finishing second behind champion Monomoy Girl. Being the main actor of this race, stuck in a speed duel with fast fractions, she had no respite and the champion took the opportunity to distance her slightly in the straight line. Coach Rodolphe Brisset (17 %) spent thirteen years as assistant to William Mott (three-time winners of this event). On his own since June 2017, he is the one WinStar group asked to train Justify at two years old to bring him to the race for Bob Baffert. So, do not be worried, he knows young horses.
