Dynamic Pricing, a three-time graded stakes winner on three different turf courses, could take a step closer to millionaire status in the $150,000 Perfect Sting at Saratoga this Friday. The one-mile stakes race on the inner turf course is part of a late Pick 3 wager that features three double-digit sized fields.
SAR 10th (5:38 p.m. EST) -- MARGAUX TREASURE followed the winning favorite with a 4-wide bid into the stretch at 7F but flattened out after two months away. She is the first Tagg-trained runner in 2 years to jump from the claiming ranks into allowance company, but she will get plenty of pace to rally into at a good price. CAPITAL GAL will be an underlay with Prat getting the call. She recovered from a slow start and ‘took command’ at the 3/8 pole en route to a runner-up finish at today’s distance. But the knock is that her two wins since 2024 were aided by a snails-like pace at Turfway Park and a five-horse field at Finger Lakes. She sneaks onto the Pick 3 ticket. BOXED WINE enters a high-percentage claim barn for her first start on the main track since her debut. But her dam was 13/3-3-5 on dirt and with a minor stakes victory and a Grade 3 placing.
SAR 11th race (6:12 p.m. EST) -- The photo-finish camera doesn’t lie: DYNAMIC PRICING thrives on winning the close ones. She rallied to win three graded stakes by less than 2 lengths combined, the latest on a yielding Saratoga course at one mile, a scene that could return in the $150,000 Perfect Sting with a 55-percent chance of rain in the advanced forecast. Her class should prevail for leading trainer Chad Brown. PROCTOR STREET could be the main danger off a visually-impressive allowance win in her second start this year. She surged 5-wide in mid-stretch en route to a career-best 90 Beyer speed figure. LES REYES, the only horse to beat DYNAMIC PRICING in a non-graded stakes, hails from a hot barn and looked good with a :47 bullet workout and a handy 4F prep on the Saratoga turf training track to get ready for her second start this year.
SAR 12th race (6:47 p.m. EST) -- Go deep in this $100,000 maiden claimer on the turf. KEY ACTRESS chased the 12-1 upset winner around the Saratoga lawn to finish second, 3 lengths ahead of MAGNUM’S MICROBRST, who was rank and ‘under restraint early.’ The fifth and sixth place finishers in that July 3 turf route came back with MSW victories, one of them against Magnum’s Microbrst.
SHARON HORIZONS hit the gate and ran third as a debut favorite, but Prat rides uncoupled stablemate CHANNEL CHECK, who lacked stretch kick in a turf race that timed 1-3/5 seconds faster than an inner-turf allowance in the next race. VICTORIOUSLY turned heads in the morning at Presque Isle Downs and her dam was a Maiden Special Weight and allowance winner going long. VIA VENETO made up nearly 7 lengths in the final half-mile of her debut in which the favorites ran 1-2-3-4.
