Jeff Siegel: What You Need to Know - Saratoga | Friday, August 23, 2024

______________________________________________________________________________
Saratoga 7th race – Post: 3:54 ET.  Degree of confidence: A-
Top Selection: 6-Force of Law.
Other Contenders
: 9-Good Conduct; 10-Leaner and Meaner.

Forecast: There’s a few nice fillies in this maiden two turn turf affair for 2-year-olds and it should require a good one – maybe even a stakes type – to win it.  The first timer Force of Law has trained like a quality type for top connections, always breezing in hand and finishing with plenty left, though never breaking any stop watches in the process, hence her 6-1 morning line.  The C. Clement-trained youngster has been given a solid foundation to have her fit and ready for a trainer whose debut runners often run better than they work.  The daughter of Constitution from multiple stakes winner Power Gal is worth a gamble.  Also to be  usied on your tick is Good Conduct, a promising fifth in her sprint debut here last month before galloping out in front in a better-than-looked effort and likely to improve a bunch over a distance of ground for C. DeVaux, and Leaner and Meaner, poorly drawn outside but quite impressive in a series of grass breezes for the C. Brown/F. Prat connection.
