Saratoga Race 7

National Museum Of Racing Hall Of Fame S. Stakes

Prize Money: $620,155

ZULU KINGDOM (7) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1609m in the G3 Manila Stakes at this track (Turf) last start to make it three straight. Flavien Prat aboard again and expected to go very well. MCAFEE (9) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1811m in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown (Dirt). Hard to beat once again. LUTHER (2) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four runs this campaign, finishing 1.3 lengths away in third most recently over 1811m at this track. Winning claims if at his peak. TANK (8) missed the placings last time out over 1811m in the G1 Belmont Derby Invitational at this track (Turf). Prior to that had won three races on end. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.
