Weather apparently was bad in Saratoga.
Races 2,7, and 10 are off the turf, so ignore my selections.
Track conditions at 8 am are muddy and yielding. I handicapped for much better conditions (fast and good/firm) so take that into account.

Doghouse Confidential Posted for Wednesday, August 14
Just posted a Doghouse for tomorrow. First few races are impossible, and the others are really contentious so take it easy.
As always, go to the red Doghouse Confidential button at Meet Mr. X and click on it. You will also see the Racing Calendar at the bottom of the Meet Mr. X page. There a copy will be available as well on the specific date.
Handicapped for fast and good to firm on the turf.
Good luck!

Doghouse Confidential Posted for Sunday, August 11, 2013
For those of you paying attention, yesterday's Doghouse yielded 7 A winners out of 8 races including a $35 horse that triggered two Pick 3's, the Grand Slam, and the late Pick 4. Made $1700, now plus for the meet.
Today's card is not great. Later races are better. Just go to the red Doghouse Confidential button at Meet Mr. X.
Good luck!

for fast, good. Was very bad early, hardly cashed but now heating up. Have been
winning or breaking even. Still a way to go for even. Fifth race off the turf.
Good luck!
