Ideally, one would include in a Saturday stakes-selections piece like this a section on the day's biggest race.
But while I'm as curious as anyone where Maximum Security's insane career goes next, I'm not interested in playing him or playing against him in the Pacific Classic.
From what've I've seen on workout video, Maximum Security, moving with more energy, greater purpose in his training, will take a considerable forward step from his uninspiring San Diego showing. Higher Power is the danger. His peak rises meaningfully when he gets out to 1 \ miles, but the win odds will lack appeal.
For depth of field, Saturday's best race is the Fourstardave at Saratoga.
