Mott Strikes Again at 6-1

Few things in this game of horse racing are automatic. Mott on turf, especially off of a move win, comes pretty close. This is particularly true at Saratoga. I am always befuddled--and amused-- by the generous prices his runners pay. Today, it was Strike Again at 6-1. How does a gimmee like Quality Road match up with Strike for a $34 daily double? None of the public or TV handicappers even mentioned the colt. Guess we're not playing the same game.
