Weekend turf warrior for 8/1/15

Happy horses' birthday Down Under. Obviously all eyes are on Monmouth tomorrow and the return of American Pharoah in the Haskell, but today there's one graded turf stakes, the Bowling Green at Saratoga where showers are forecast (Fun fact: the Jim Dandy for 3 yo is also set down for today, is named for a 100-1 long shot who beat a triple crown winner in the Travers back in the day). In the intermediate distance Gr 2 Bowling Green for 4up, around 3 turns of the tight inner turf course, there appears to be plenty of speed and I envisage #2 and #4 leading, with #2 leading with 3, 6 and 8 up stalking representing the best chances. I'll make it the Phipps Stable's #3 Imagining (Johnny V up, for Shug) from #8 Dramedy and #2 War Dancer. RESULT: #3 got the show. was about 5/2. here's the Haskell. What a horse.
