In a wide-open betting race, Mississippi Delta is the 4/1 morning line favorite for trainer Mark Casse after winning three consecutive starts, following a fifth-place finish in her debut – all at Woodbine. The daughter of Giant’s Causeway won the Glorious Song Stakes November 22 to cap her two year-old season, and returned to win her three year-old debut in the Alywow Stakes June 14. Julien Leparoux will take the mount breaking from post 7.
Feathered (9/2) was impressive winning her turf debut in the Grade 3 Edgewood Stakes May 1 at Churchill Downs, and repeated her good form while running second in the Grade 1 American Oaks May 30 at Santa Anita. The Todd Pletcher-trainee has won 2 of 9 starts overall while also proving to be a top-class filly on dirt. Luis Saez will ride breaking from post 10 for Pletcher who excels with horses returning from 30-60 day layoffs.
Partisan Politics will have to overcome a wide draw, breaking from post 12 in the crowded field, but the Chad Brown-trained filly showed an affinity for the Saratoga green last summer, winning the P.G Johnson Stakes, and could be sitting on a peak effort in her second start back from a seven and a half month layoff. Partisan Politics ran second in her last start July 14 at Belmont in the Wild Applause Stakes.
