Watch: Preview Saratoga 2022 final week with David Aragona
Even as the 2022 summer meet at Saratoga comes to a close, the exciting stakes action continues during the final week. Three Grade 1 events remain, including the Jockey Club Gold Cup, the Spinaway, and the Hopeful.
Handicappers Ed DeRosa and Sara Elbadwi will be joined by David Aragona at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Tuesday for the live weekly preview. Aragona is the morning line maker for all three NYRA tracks; Saratoga, Belmont, and Aqueduct. He is also a handicapper for the Daily Racing Form and TimeformUS. Aragona can be found on Twitter at the handle @HorseToWatch.
The trio will recap the previous week, including Epicenter's first Grade 1 win in the Travers, Jack Christopher's successful return to the winner's circle in the Grade 1 H. Allen Jerkens, and the upset of Jackie's Warrior by Cody's Wish in the Grade 1 Forego.
Horse Racing Nation's First-Timer Power Ratings Report accurately identified multiple two-year-old debut runners to use or to fade throughout Travers week, not only at Saratoga but across other tracks as well. Winners at Saratoga last week such as Verifying, The Great Maybe, and Dontlookbackatall all showed up favorably as 4s or 5s on the report.
