US Horse Racing Tips: Best bets from Saratoga on Friday

Make Mischief the wise choice

Race 1 17:20 Saratoga - Make Mischief

Make Mischief should go close in this interesting State bred Stakes race on the main track.

This well related daughter of Into Mischief finished second the talented Thoughtfully in the Grade 2 Adirondack over this course last month. She held every chance in the straight, but the winner found another gear and had to settle for a place. The winner looks Grade 1 material in my opinion, and time may tell she faced an impossible task. She is suited by the conditions of this race, and should be backed at her Morning Line price of 3.55/2.

No Trouble here

Race 7 20:50 Saratoga - Lookin for Trouble

Lookin for Trouble should make his presence felt in this State bred Stakes race named after the great Funny Cide.

This colt was impressive when winning a State bred Maiden Special Weight over this course last month. He refused to change leads in the straight but still managed to pull away to score decisively. This was a super effort from this likeable individual. I am sure trainer Mike Maker has ironed out any kinks in the interim, and will be ready to do himself justice. This is tougher, but is the big improver in this fascinating contest. He should be a fair price so recommend backing him at BSP.
