Alabama Week rolls on with a 10-race card Thursday topped by the Cab Calloway division of the New York Stallion Series for 3-year-olds on the grass.
A field of eight entered the 1-mile Cab Calloway, including the 1-2-3 finishers from the NYSS Spectacular Bid in Friend Ofthe Devil, River Of Time and I’m Due. Friend Ofthe Devil, a son of Honest Mischief trained by Carlos Martin, brings a 3-for-3 record on the grass into the Cab Calloway.
Day 26 presents plenty of puzzles for the handicapping team from The Saratoga Special, who continue to plug along with some winners. Who do they like Thursday? Check out the picks below, and come back Friday for more selections.
The print schedule for The Special resumes Saturday with the first of the five final issues for 2025. Take care, stay hydrated and good luck.
