Yep, that wasn’t close.

I’ll be there in a few weeks for the Whitney weekend and the sale. Always a good time.

One of my favorite places to go during their meet. I have been 3 times and it is heaven on earth for horseracing fanatics. The morning works are magical and the restaurants, night life, and Hall of Fame museum are exceptional. Oh and you can beat the weather. Love the SPA!!!!!

Pincay, Mig, Paulie, and the rest are having a blast.
Real camaraderie.
The Spa has been added to my "Bucket List".

Incredible Jockey Colony. Prat is there full time this meet.

Not to brag but I had the 8 in the Del Mar free online handicapping contest. Should be near the top of the leaderboard with a $100 win bet

I’m hoping I have enough $ in retirement to be able to spend some time there during a season.

Been tough handicapping for me so far.
Keeping up with Racing this year has been an absolute blast and just from the broadcasts I can see that Saratoga is a special American destination whether you know horses or not.

Went to high school in Saratoga. House was a block away from Fasig Tipton sales for those familiar with layout. August in Saratoga Springs is special! SPAC has great concerts and Caroline Street amazing bars.

Anyone been to Wishing Well restaurant? Worked there, and also groomed some 2 year olds at Oklahoma track (original Saratoga racetrack) owned by Ogden Phipps. Angel Penna was trainer.

i've been doing well with turf races

still trting to figure the dirt out, but i have missed on some big payoffs on the dirt, missing by a head or nose, closing from dead last, because of shite trips

always bet chad browns 2nd or 3rd horse in a race with best odds. especially if its a peter brant owned horse.

That sounds like a bad ROI my guy

Pretty sure at Belmont they hit at around 30% as a favorite

That aside rooting for Brant always. He is gonna save the North American thoroughbred gene pool. Great guy

Short fields with Chad Brown chalk on the turf. That about sums it up.

Then there's Pletcher and Clement, etc... fuqq! Who is missing besides Baffert? Does anybody bring in Mike Smith? I know shite about West Coast Racing.
Damn, I wish I could sit with the Form/tools all freaking day!
Love me some Joel and Gaffalione on the grass.

Plenty trainers have no business being there. Like Saffie Joseph and Tom Amoss
