Saratoga Meet Picks and Analyst Highlights ~~(July–Aug~~ (July–Sept 2026)

Throughout July 2026, Daily Racing Form handicapper Mike Beer and VSiN columnist Mr Ed supplied daily pick lists for the Saratoga meet. Early-month selections featured Beer’s top bets on filly Waggley (Race 5, July 4) and Liberty’s Secret (Race 7, July 5), while his weekend outlook for July 10-11 highlighted Hadrian’s Wall and Sunna, with additional recommendations from analyst Andrew Champagne. For the July 16-19 card, both Beer and Mr Ed noted leading jockeys Irad Ortiz, Jose Ortiz and Flavien Prat, and highlighted Powerline (son of Flightline) and Jack and Jim among other contenders. A $284.22 Daily Double payout on July 19 signaled strong betting interest. Beer’s July 21 handicap singled out Gold Sovereign as the best bet in Race 10, while Mr Ed’s July 23 picks emphasized Camille’s Legacy, Two by Two by Two and other stakes prospects. The summer meet opened on July 26 with Irad Ortiz Jr. riding six winners; Mr Ed continued to recommend SHOWA and DON’T BE SALTY. On July 31, the card featured the $250,000 Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes, with Flavien Prat and Irad Ortiz Jr. each securing two wins. In early August, Mr Ed highlighted Todd Pletcher’s five wins and top picks such as Hot Currency and Gezora on August 2, a day where Irad and Jose Ortiz each posted four victories. On August 8, Beer identified Pretty Boy Miah as his best bet in Race 5, noting the colt’s maiden win and 92-Beyer figure. By August 13, Puerto Rican jockey José Luis Ortiz achieved four consecutive days of victories. On that same day, trainers Kenneth McPeek and Bill Mott each secured two wins, while Venezuelan jockey Junior Alvarado earned one victory.
