Check out my Friday (7-19-24) Saratoga Race 3 analysis below.

SAR 9 (Curlin, 3yo, 1 1/8 miles dirt) – Post Time 2:18pm EDT
Primary – #1 UNMATCHED WISDOM
Secondary – #4 Timeout

Horse Comments:

#1 Unmatched Wisdom (4-5) looks like the controlling speed from the inside post. Chad Brown’s $450k colt pressed and aired in his flat mile bow on May 10, and chased from second and cruised again as the heavy favorite at 1 1/8 miles on June 22. Flavien Prat stays put and he might be long gone. 

#4 Timeout (2-1) rallied to hit the board in his first two starts around one turn. He added blinkers, stalked below par fractions, and graduated by a neck at 1 1/8 miles as the favorite on June 15. Joel Rosario hops aboard and Bill Mott’s Curlin colt will likely stalk the pace in the Curlin Stakes.
