Weekend Stakes Selections July 27-28/2013

After a bit of a break I am back at it! I will be making selections for major stakes race throughout the rest of the year. This upcoming weekend is headlined by terrific racing at Saratoga, Monmouth and Del Mar. The spotlight hits Saratoga on Saturday, featuring two Grade I events and the Grade II Jim Dandy Stakes. Sunday, the racing world shifts its focus to Oceanport New Jersey, as Monmouth Park hosts its biggest card of the year. The Grade I Haskell Invitational is the headline event, which is supported by a strong undercard of graded stakes action. On the West Coast Del Mar features the Grade II San Diego Handicap on Saturday, followed the Grade I Bing Crosby Stakes on Sunday. Below are all of my selections for this weeks major stakes action! Good luck!
