Saratoga Picks for June 7:
WHEN ALL WAS SAID & RUN: It was #9 GOLDEN TEMPO ($14.00) trainer Cherie Devaux and Jose Ortiz captured the second jewel in the Triple Crown. Mr. Ed was very disappointed that #7 COMMANDMENT came up short. Congrats to all who had Golden Tempo in the Derby and now the Belmont at Saratoga. All in all, it was a quirky day at the track. Win some, lose sum. On to the final day of the Belmont Racing Festival.
SUNDAY AT SARATOGA: The final card of the festival offers Mr. Ed several opportunities to get even at the windows. First post on Sunday for the 11-race program, highlighted by the R4 Poker Stakes, is 12:05 p.m. ET/9:05 a.m. PT.
Here are Mr. Ed’s Sunday Selections at Saratoga (and good luck to all who follow Mr. Ed and VSiN).

Race 1 — $105K ALLOWANCE for NY-bred fillies and mares going 1 1/16-mile on the turf
Mr. Ed likes a pair in the first leg of DD: #2 ALL OF IT (5-2 morning line) for young trainer Miguel Clement with smokin’ hot Manny Franco riding, and #4 BOOMINGTON (9-2), trained by George Weaver with HoF jockey Johnny Velazquez on board. Today’s early bomb?
SARATOGA SELECTION: $5 Daily Double of 2,4/2,7. ($20)
Race 2 (12:38 p.m. ET/9:38 a.m. PT) — $100K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT for NY-bred 3YOs & up going 1 1/16-mile on the grass

SARATOGA SELECTION: $5 Daily Double. ($20)
Race 4 (1:46 p.m. ET/10:46 a.m. PT) — $300K G2 POKER STAKES for 4YOs & Up going a mile on the turf

Race 5 (2:20 p.m. ET/11:20 a.m. PT) — $105K ALLOWANCE for NY-bred 3YOs going 5½ furlongs on the turf
Mr. Ed is betting on #6 RHYTON (6-1 morning line) for Miguel Clement and Jaime Rodriguez to spring an upset. First-time gelding easy winner in his lone start. If he breaks, he’ll be tough to catch.
SARATOGA SELECTION: $10 to Win. ($10)
Race 6 (2:54 p.m. ET/11:54 a.m. PT) — ALLOWANCE SPECIAL WEIGHT for 2YOs going 5½-furlongs
Mr. Ed’s choice is #9 BOOKED (3-1 morning line), trained by all-time winning trainer Steve Asmussen; ridden by Ricardo Santana, Jr. Additional ground suits the colt’s closing style. Outside post adds to appeal.
SARATOGA SELECTION: $10 to Win. ($10)
Race 7 (3:29 p.m. ET/12:29 p.m. PT) — $78K STARTER OPTIONAL CLAIMING for 3YOs & up going 1 1/16-mile on the grass
Mr. Ed is betting on a trio: #1 COMPLEX AGENDA (9-2 morning line) for trainer Tom Morley with Ricardo Santana riding; #3 GENE AND JUDE (7-2) with a sharp team of Michael Maker and Flavien Prat, and #12 THE PADDOCK PASTOR (6-1) for sharp trainer Amelia Green and Jaime Rodriguez.

Race 8 (4:04 p.m. ET/1:04 p.m. PT) — $200K G3 SOARING SOFTLY STAKES for 3YO fillies going 5½-furlongs on the turf
Mr. Ed is playing three: #1 HEN PARTY (7-2 morning line) for popular trainer Eoin Harty with hard-to-catch jockey Flavien Prat; #4 SLAY THE DAY (4-5) for excellent trainer Brian Lynch and HOF jockey Johnny V., and favorite #8 NICHE (2-1) for trainer Rob Atras and rider Dylan Davis.

Race 9 (4:39 p.m. ET/1:39 p.m. PT) — $52K STARTER OPTIONAL TRAINING for 4 YOs & up going 6½-furlongs
Mr. Ed flat-out likes #9 FORGIVING SPIRIT (6-1 morning line) for Rudy Rodriguez barn with capable Ruben Silvera up. Ultra-consistent gelding returns to dirt. Mr. Ed forgives his turf efforts.
SARATOGA SELECTION: $10 to Win. ($10)
Race 11 (5:49 p.m. ET/2:49 p.m. PT) — $100K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT for NY-bred 3YOs & up going 6½- furlongs
Mr. Ed’s choice is #11 IRISH GOODBYE (5-2 morning line) for the deep Brad Cox stable with red-hot Manny Franco returning to the saddle. He has the makings of a future star who might go far (with apologies to Earth, Wind & Fire).
SARATOGA SELECTION: $10 To Win. ($10)
TOTAL WAGERS: $160.
