In this summer’s Saratoga Showdown, The Post’s pony pickers John DaSilva, Ed Fountaine, Vic Cangialosi and Anthony Affrunti square off every day of the meet.

Each starts with a bankroll of $2,000, with a maximum bet of $50 a day. May the best bettor win!

JOHN DaSILVA

TODAY’S PLAY: In the first race, play a $10 exacta box of Redemption Road (coming off impressive maiden victory in first start for a tag) with Leroidessioux and Master Splash. Also play a $5 exacta box of Redemption Road with Shane Roars. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: Unabashed was as smooth as peanut butter as she drew off to break her maiden at first asking. Ruby Lips got up to be second to give us a $26 exacta five times, giving us a profit of $80 for the day.

BANKROLL: $1,742.50

VIC CANGIALOSI

TODAY’S PLAY: How about this? Let’s throw $30 to win on Lemon Drop Dream in the second. Then $10 doubles on Titletown Five and Violence in the fourth with Post Pattern in the fifth. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: If you’re interested in big favorites that don’t show up, have I got a rundown for you. Yesterday’s star in a long string of them was Gitchee Goomie … off the board. Then it was a game of “they’re off, you lose” as Fantastic Eyes broke last in a 5 ¹/2 -furlong sprint. All together now: Lost $50.

BANKROLL: $1,574

ED FOUNTAINE

TODAY’S PLAY: In the fifth race, $20 win on Post Pattern. In the seventh, $12 win on Hello Lover; $6 double, Hello Lover with Marquet Cat in the eighth; $12 win on Marquet Cat. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: In the eighth race, Glorious View ($30 win, $20 place) was never a threat as the 4-5 favorite and was life-and-death to finish second, paying $3 to place. Lost $20.

BANKROLL: $1,793.50

ANTHONY AFFRUNTI

TODAY’S PLAY: Hard time trying to narrow ’em down, but we’ll put $40 to win on Pletcher firster Violence in the fourth and the remaining $10 to win on Clip the Coupons in the eighth. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: Thought there was a chance in the first with Harbor Mist, but faded to third in the stretch and lost the win bet. In the fifth, Inimitable Romance finished up third. Lost $50.

BANKROLL: $2,028.35
