Horse Racing Nation Pro Reports are available for the entire Saratoga meet as well as every track, every day. These handicapping tools analyze a variety of angles to help bettors with their wagering decisions. 

The Pace Report predicts fast fractions in most races on the card, particularly in Races 6, 9 and 10. These may be spots to consider horses that will be moving from off the pace. 

The First-Time Starter Insights Report is especially helpful when handicapping 2-year-old races, of which there will be no shortage at Saratoga. Race 2 on the opening day card features an intriguing group of fillies, with morning line favorite No. 6 Chocolate Gelato going out for trainer Todd Pletcher. 

The Sire Moves Report highlights horses that are making a change in distance and/or surface. Of the four contenders that show up on the report in Race 8, No. 11 Wonka (9-2 ML) is the one that maight benefit the most from this stretch out in distance. Progeny of Twirling Candy have a higher win rate in turf routes in comparison to turf sprints.
