Looks like Borel, Mena, Solis will be riding at the Spa. Usually Borel is MIA unless a big race hits. Solis named on just one horse on opening day. Mena ran into trouble last year, right?
Keep an eye on apprentice Freddie Lenclud. Looked pretty good riding at Churchill in the spring. Should bring home some winners this meet.

The eighth race has quality, and looks tough to handicap.

Entry box fills up for opening day at Spa

Excerpt:

A total of 127 horses were entered for Friday's 10-race opening-day card at Saratoga , which will run 40 days through Labor Day.

It really is unbelievably amazing.
Best time of the year....but I guess those that aren't here are hoping for rain.
That's really too bad. It's going to be another amazing summer regardless of what uncontrollable outside events occur. Looking forward to seeing everybody....sorry for those that can't make it.

I haven't...But I am willing to try anything.
