Overview

Analysts have kept issuing daily pick lists for the Saratoga meet through early August 2026. After highlighting a wire‑to‑wire win by #7 Cosmic Candy Girl and an average $2 win return of $15.55 across nine races on July 24, Mr Ed continued his column with recommendations for the weekend, noting a $1 million son of Constitution, SHOWA, at $10 to win in Race 1 and filly DON’T BE SALTY in Race 3.

Daily Racing Form handicapper Mike Beer released detailed picks for the July 29–30 weekend. For July 29 he suggested a three‑horse trifecta of Not Tapping, Force of Mischief and Amicus Curiae and singled out Not Tapping as the best bet in Race 5. For July 30 he projected an Ambition‑Fortune Seller‑Right to Win 1‑2‑3 finish and named Ambition the top bet in Race 5.

On Friday, July 31, a nine‑race card featured the $250,000 Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes. Jockeys Flavien Prat and Irad Ortiz Jr. each recorded two victories. Mr Ed’s column highlighted Wesley Ward’s #2 Without Hesitation, Linda Rice’s #5 Sheer Will, Chad Brown’s #1 First Call Bob and Brad Cox’s #6 Yestahal, with average $2 win tickets returning about $8.00.
