If they cancelled the rest of the meet, L Saez and K McLaughlin would be leading jock and trainer.

On to Race 2.

Fizzano. Spa based horse, 3rd off layoff, Can Saez do it again?

Donato. Should be rolling on lead, free running horse, was able to win on Feb 18th at SA for Barry Abrams who was like 0 for 100 at the meet....this one was able to overcome a trainer who couldnt get out of his own way at the time, so, maybe this is a special horse?

The 1 horse w Prado also had decent run last time, he fits well here.

If racing announced that all Pletcher and Wesley Ward first timer 2 year olds were just running for purse only, i wouldnt throw a fit.

Seems like the 3 who were scratched in Race 4 were MTOs but werent listed as such. Odd.

Yes, but sooner or later most of those horses will end up as 6/5 shots in races they don't figure.

True.

My son's birthday is 12/1/67. He's not a horseplayer, though. I missed the speedster, SUBTLE, a few races back. This one is owned by a PA member, Ernie Dahlman.

The :2: in the 8th is taking suspicious money. W/P for me.

had the 2 and thought I had it.

On another note, how impressive was the :4: in that race. It looked like he came out firing for the lead, but once the jock realized how many others were up there and how fast they were going, he was able to easily set him off the pace. That, to me, is the essence of class.

Thought I'd get the place at least. Anyway, last two shots of the day, both W/P:

9th - :6:

10th - :6: (Angel Penna's horse).

That felt good.

I can't play tomorrow, but I'll be back to give my money back on Sunday.

This is an odd redboard, but I almost entered a free contest in which you make $20 win bets for the Saratoga meet, but only 40 plays total.

I was going I make 3 today. 3 for 3 (races 1,4, and 10).

What happens, I couldn't enter because they could never confirm my email.

Oh well. That was a lot of typing for a stupid story. Sorry.

That's my kind of contest, do you have a link?

I will send in a private message. As far as I can tell it isn't a private contest, but I didn't want to post if not allowed.
