SMOKEN WICKED's performance flatters Verifire for @jstewartrr, @resracingky, and @bradcoxracing as that $1 million purchase bested today's Amsterdam (G2) winner by 2+ lengths last time out in the Maxfield Stakes. 3YO male sprint division is always my favorite. #HorseRacing
SMOKEN WICKED smokes the field in the Amsterdam (G2) for @DallasStewart3 and @b_hernandezjr as the Louisiana-bred son of Bobby’s Wicked One gets his first graded stakes victory.
The Louisiana-bred SMOKEN WICKED dusts the field for Dallas Stewart and jockey @b_hernandezjr in the Amsterdam (G2). Another Churchill Downs shipper with a win at #Saratoga. #HorseRacing

Meet SLY!! Such an amazing story on First Responders Day here at #Saratoga. Sly, a 22YO quarter horse fell into a frozen lake last winter and was saved by a team of first responders. He made a full recovery and you can meet him from 2-4 PM ET at Horse Sense.
The Curlin Stakes is always one of my favorites of the #Saratoga meet. Today, Chad Brown has a strong favorite in the form of Strategic Focus, but Crudo and So Sandy both present upset possibilities. Get my full analysis on @NYRABets. #HorseRacingTips #HorseRacing
Strategic Focus is a heavy favorite in the Curlin Stakes presented by @Casamigos and @failedtomenace talks about why this Chad Brown runner looms over this field. However, Matthew highlights a pair of horses to consider as upset candidates.

Out of the light comes Sandman over the main track today at #Saratoga getting ready for Saturday’s Jim Dandy. He’s 6/1 ML, do you think he drifts up, down, or stays where he is? #HorseRacing
A morning at #Saratoga wouldn’t be complete without a SANDMAN sighting. The son of Tapit is back in action Saturday in the Jim Dandy (G2) with blinkers added and will look to upset Sovereignty and Baeza. #Sandman
