Saratoga Race 5

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $142,653

STORY OF RORY (8) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1106m at Laurel Turf when he finished second. This is his first run for the Amelia J Green stable. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. SULTAN HASSAN (3) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. SWEETNESSTHRTYFOUR (10) finished 0.3 lengths from the winner in second on debut over 1106m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on June 12 2025 and has not appeared since. Sure to have improved so he is a leading contender. TRUE LEGEND (6) is back after a break of nine months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 14th over 1408m in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has ability and is worth including. Something for the Multiples: HOT OFF THE BEACH (1)

The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Monmouth Park Turf on May 31 over 1106m, 0.1 len behind If Ever with 54kg at $16.10. Has the ability to be in the finish.
