Saratoga TB

So many likeable types in the home-trained contingent, including Faithful Departed, Fitz Right and, in particular, Imaginationthelady (second choice). The feeling here is that the shippers hold the aces, however, with Kensington Lane respected but ABASHIRI expected to take a strong hand. By Frankel out of a very smart Dubawi mare, she performed really well behind O'Brien winners of the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas, and surely this is her chance to shine. Trainer Charlie Appleby would have targeted this race immediately after she passed the post at the Curragh. [James Willoughby]
