21:04 Saratoga Tips

Looks primed to rebound after finishing a disappointing third as the odds-on favorite in the Poker Stakes. Trainer Chad Brown reports the colt has trained smoothly since. His earlier Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile victory showed he remains one of the top turf milers in training. His proven class, strong Saratoga form, and the expected pace setup make him the horse to beat.

Capitol Hill enters the race in excellent competitive form, having secured two consecutive high-level runner-up finishes in his most recent outings. He is trained by the legendary William I. Mott (W.I. Mott) and will be ridden by experienced jockey Junior Alvarado (54.4 kg)-a formidable duo in graded turf races in New York. He has maintained very consistent and competitive speed figures over his last four starts at the mile distance (90, 90, 90, and 94), ensuring a solid performance.
