There are no stakes races at Arlington this weekend, so Paul Mazur and I are taking a closer look at Saratoga instead.  This Saturday’s Saratoga card features five stakes, including three Grade I races.  Paul handicapped the Whitney Handicap (GI), the De La Rose Stakes, and the Lure Stakes; I dove into the Test Stakes (GI) as well as the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (GI).
