TRAIN THE TRAINER (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 7f in stakes class at Saratoga (Dirt), getting home by 2.75 lengths. Winning rider I Ortiz Jr retains the mount. Has the class to add to the winning sequence. BUTTAH (5) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the corner over 1m at Aqueduct, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct the start prior. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. CALLING CARD (2) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Saratoga five-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Settles back early but winds up late. Should be competitive. HIT THE POST (4) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 7f at Saratoga (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Christopher Elliott was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
