Bigger fuller fields. Once again unless the weather is a repeat of last year there will almost certainly be less scratches and more racing on the turf.
Julian Leparoux will once again make a pilgrimage to Saratoga ( for whatever odd reason) and continue to do poorly there as he does every year.
The little guy will continue to pick 4 horses in 5 horse fields and still manage to not get the winner right. LOL J/K I had to add that in.
Anyway I think Saratoga is in for a very successful summer.

I have mixed feelings about losing the regular Monday card.
I'm normally off on Mondays, so I enjoyed playing those days.
That being said, the product will likely be stronger with a 5 day race week.
Better for all those involved who have had to work 6 day weeks, too.
I always look forward to the Spa and Del Mar.
Always a treat for racing fans.
