Saranac Stakes Analysis at Saratoga (7-3-26)

The Saranac Stakes goes as Race 10 at Saratoga on Friday, July 3, with a large field of three-year-olds set to travel 1 1/16 miles on the turf for a $150,000 purse. Scheduled post time is 6:15 p.m. ET.

Pace Scenario

One of the first things that stands out is the projected pace.

Siyouincanada (#1) appears to be the lone true front-runner in the field. After wiring the field in his career debut from the rail, he draws the inside again and looks capable of controlling the tempo if no one challenges him early.

Behind him, Glavin (#7) projects to enjoy an ideal stalking trip. Most of the remaining entrants prefer to settle in mid-pack or farther back, making this a race that could favor horses positioned near the front.

Main Contenders

#1 Siyouincanada

This colt couldn’t have asked for a better debut, wiring the field from the rail at generous odds.

He finds himself in a similar situation here, drawing the inside once again with very little confirmed early speed signed on.

The class hike is substantial, and this is only his second lifetime start, but if he’s allowed to dictate comfortable fractions, he’ll be difficult to reel in.
