SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Unlike the preceding race, the Go for Wand, the Grade I, $750,000 Whitney is very complicated.
Can Saratoga-loving speedster Commentator turn back the clock at age 7 and repeat his Whitney win of 2005? There are horses for courses, unquestionably, but he's not the horse he was then, and I'm going to play Rising Moon. Trainer Rick Dutrow said the versatile 5-year-old had a lung infection when he ran third June 28 in the Suburban Handicap won by his stablemate First Giant. Rising Moon can stalk and fire, and turning back from 1 1/4 miles to 1 1/8 should amplify his stretch punch.
The play: Rising Moon, win and place, and box him in exactas with Solar Flare and A.P. Arrow, the beaten favorite in the Suburban who's 2-for-3 at the Spa.
