Race 1 at Saratoga, Thurs., Sept. 3

Here was a nice result today in the 1st at Saratoga, a $75K maiden race off the turf at 1 1/8 mi. for three-year olds and up. In a seven horse field that had five horses with similar odds between 9-5 and 3-1, the program’s first selection in #10 Lost in Rome at 3-1 under the reins of Luiz Saez went wire-to-wire. The horse was strong in all the metrics, including a 33.4% SPD winning estimate, a 57% COMP estimate and a 41.4% Winning Percentage adjusted for stakes. Lost in Rome paid $8.90. The other horse that received a FIT2 checkmark—Magic Mojo because of a 50% LP estimate—came in second.
