2022 Fourstardave Handicap Handicapping
The feature race of this weekend’s action at Saratoga Race Course, the (G1) Fourstardave Handicap is open to horses age three and older and is run at one mile on the Saratoga turf.
The race is also a ‘Win And You’re In’ event for the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Mile, to be held on November 5 at Keeneland Race Course.
This year’s Fourstardave has drawn a small but tough field of five entries, including one mare taking on the boys.
Odds listed here are provided by the Saratoga track handicapper.
2022 Fourstardave Handicap Free Pick & Handicapping: Regal Glory Race Odds: 6-5
Coming in off a win in the (G1) Just A Game Stakes at Belmont Park, Regal Glory has now won four straight starts and five of her last six. She sports an overall record of 12 wins and four runner-up finishes in 19 lifetime starts.
She’s raced 12 times at the distance of one mile and has won seven of those, finishing second four times, and she’s also a perfect three-for-three on the Saratoga turf.
She’s one of two in the field for trainer Chad Brown. Jose Ortiz is tapped to ride.
2022 Fourstardave Handicap Free Pick & Handicapping: Masen Race Odds: 2-1
The UK-bred Masen put together a solid record while racing in Europe and has made a somewhat seamless switch to North America since making his debut on this side of the pond in April.
He was beaten just a nose in his first American start and since then has won two in a row, last out taking the (G3) Poker Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths. He has two wins and two second-place finishes at the distance and has won five-of-nine overall.
It is worth noting that eight of his starts and four of his wins have come on tracks rated less than firm.
He’s the other Chad Brown trainee in the field. Flavien Prat will be the rider.
2022 Fourstardave Handicap Free Pick & Handicapping: Casa Creed Race Odds: 5-2
The hard-knocking Casa Creed has made 26 starts and has managed to win six of those while putting just shy of $1.5 million in the bank.
Last out he snapped a five-race losing streak when he defended his title the (G1) Jaipur Stakes at Belmont with a half-length win over the very good Arrest Me Red. That race was at six furlongs, and what’s concerning for him is that he has only won once in 13 tries at the one-mile distance.
Trainer Bill Mott has won the Fourstardave a record four times. Two-time race winner Luis Saez will be in the irons.
2022 Fourstardave Handicap Free Pick & Handicapping: Get Smokin Race Odds: 8-1
The speedy Get Smokin is a half-brother to the filly Got Stormy, the only filly to win the Fourstardave. In fact, she did it twice, in 2019 and 2021, setting the race record time in the first of those two wins. Their sire, Get Stormy, won the race in 2010.
For his part, Get Smokin is still looking for his first win of 2022 in four tries, although he does have two runner-up finishes in that span. Three of his four lifetime win have come at the one-mile distance. Here he tries for the first Grade 1 victory of his career.
Trainer Mark Casse has three total wins in the race, while jockey Javier Castellano tries for his third.
Here’s My 2022 Fourstardave Handicap Free Pick.
While she is taking on male horses for the first time in her career, sometimes you just have to play to the numbers and based on her record, Regal Glory is clearly the one to beat in this field.
As impressive as her overall record and undefeated status at Saratoga is, what also stands out to me is that in two of her three races this year she’s finished ahead of horses that came back to win their next start. In her most recent win, both the second and third-place finishers won their next start.
From a form perspective, you can’t get much better than that. I won’t get cute and I’ll take her for the win, but try to find some value in the small field by using Get Smokin in the exacta.
