Las Vegas - If anyone out there can pick winners when it's ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN FREAKIN DEGREES, call me. This guy can barely hang on. I might see you tomorrow and I might not. PRAY for me.

Across the the country, in upstate New York, Saratoga Race Course opens up and of course, our main man Martin Calia has some goodies for you...hit us Marty...

It’s opening day at the Spa! We start a 40 day meet at Saratoga Race course with today’s featured 10th race The Schuylerville. This is the first time in the last 10 years I won’t be at opening day. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make some sizzling cash for Ecks & Bacon Nation !!! Before we start Happy Birthday to my godson Michael!

Race 1- Love starting off the day with a daily double cash! Let’s go with #6 Accidental Hero . Mike Maker trainee drops down after being claimed for 50k. His last race at Keeneland, the second place horse returned to capture a 62,5k claimer with an 88 speed figure. Drops and pops today. Our bet is $20 win-place-show on #6 Accidental Hero and a $5 exacta wheel 6 with all. Also a $20 daily double 6-1.

Race 2 - The #1, No Show Sammy Jo, won her last race, a non winners of one affair, now steps up. Love the Lope de Vega sire angle! So let’s take a shot...$20 across the board on #1 and a $5 exacta wheel 1 with all.

Race 10th is the Schuylerville for 2 year old fillies. This is a tough race but it’s also my best bet. Love #5 Complexion. She flew out of the gate for an easy lead and win first time out. Trainer Danny Gargan hits @ 23% with his 2 year olds and he has HOFamer Johnny V. In the irons. The bet is a crispy Benjamin Lee to win on #5 and a $5 exacta wheel 5 with all. Late $5 daily doubles 5 with the 1-3-4-5-9.

Race 11 - Let’s take a real stab here with #1 Ghost Prince at 50-1! Also $20 win place and show on #1 and exacta, trifecta, and super boxes with numbers 1-3-4-5-9.

Good luck at the Spaaaa!
