Heart of 3+up MSW at Saratoga presents easy throw-outs

It might be interesting to devise criteria for "a prospect." I would guess a prospect is a horse who has a chance of being a stakes winner, or maybe a graded stakes winner. One approach could be to list black marks that automatically mean the horse is not a prospect. One could be a certain number of starts without getting the first win.

Evem in races for 3-year-olds and up, Saratoga maiden special weights are places where you expect to find prospects. Yet in Monday's 1st, you had 0 for 10 Suns Out Guns Out beating 0 for 9 Tiz Yankee, with 0 for 13 Flashy Sunrise 3rd. When fans dream of a sturdier animal, this isn't the mold they have in mind.
