Saratoga Mischief has been tabbed as the morning line favorite at odds of 8-5 for trainer Todd Pletcher. Purchased for $360,000, the bay son of Into Mischief will be stepping up to stakes competition for the first time after breaking his maiden in his career debut. In that race, he prevailed by a neck over eight rivals in a minor upset at odds of 6-1. John Velazquez will be back aboard and they are scheduled to break from post position five.
Second choice at odds of 5-2 on the morning line is Exaggerator for trainer Keith Desormeaux. A dark bay son of Curlin, he cost $110,000 as a yearling and will be running against winners for the first time. After a fifth-place finish in his first start, he came back to break his maiden in his next outing at Del Mar in July. Junior Alvarado will be in the irons and they will break from the rail as he tries to earn his second consecutive win.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 7-2 is Holding Gold for trainer Mark Casse. A bay son of Lonhro (AUS), he is a homebred for Live Oak Plantation and is out of a mare who was a multiple graded stakes winner. He broke his maiden in his debut at Woodbine on their synthetic main track and has had a bullet workout at Saratoga in preparation for his stakes debut. Shaun Bridgmohan will be aboard from post two.
