US Horse Racing Tips: Best bets from Saratoga on Wednesday

Control Group to take charge

Race 8 21:34 Saratoga - Control Group

Control Group should go close in this $40k optional claimer on the main track.

This six-year-old was most impressive when beating similar over this course last month. He made his move at the entrance to the straight and quickly settled the matter. Trainer Orlando Noda is having a fantastic meeting and boasts a 43% strike rate along with nine winners. Noda always has a smile on his face but is deadly serious when it comes to conditioning horses. Control Group loves this track and is a four-time winner at the Spa. He should be backed at around 2.89/5 on the exchange.

Ready to Fire

Race 9 22:06 Saratoga - Fire At Will

I am going to take a chance with Fire At Will in this fascinating Grade 3 contest on the turf.

This Declaration of War colt caught the eye on debut when finishing sixth in a Maiden Special Weight over this course last month. He was floated wide on the home turn and ran out of steam inside the final furlong. He ran as if he needed the run, and am expecting a much-improved effort. His work tab is stellar and put in a bullet over the track four days ago. He has a bit to find with a few of these, but I feel he is up to the task. He will be a decent price so recommend backing him at BSP.
