Limonite outran his odds but he was in too deep. I don’t know if Value Engineering was winning but the ride he got didn’t help.

Day 23
Best bet:
Race 6- #10 Montauk Point

Best bet:
Race 7- #8 Treason Love this horse today. WOn debut, carried out wide last time in a race that was dominated by horses inside. Second time going two turns and think this one has some quality.

Longshot:

Almost forgot…

Treason got an embarrassing ride. Yes I’m Evil did little running

Day 31
Best Bet:
Race 3-#2 Royne The living legend Michael Dickinson has only run 5 horses this year and won with 3 of them. For him to bring this horse to Saratoga, he must think he's pretty good. Running him in a stake as a maiden is a pretty good indication of that as well.

Longshot:
Race 7- #3 No Salt This horse has little to no shot on paper. But he's found a totally paceless race and if he's just sent, can lead these a long way.

Blanked for 4 days now. Let’s try and right the ship.

Best bet:
Race 6- #6 Charmed

Longshot:
Race 10- #5 Royal Flag

Charmed was awful, Royal Flag outran her odds but was no match for Letruska. On to today where the day started by me getting DQd for the 4th time this summer and I bet a horse who looked like it was going to win and decided to try and savage his rival. So yeah…I’m over it all. 4 DQ’s is a lot for a year. In a 45 day span it’s enough to make you lose what little mind you have left.

Best bet:
Race 6-#7 Princess Pinky

Longshot:
Race 11- #4 Ghost Giant

I'm just glad to finally be done with this sport. Saratoga beat me once and for all.

I'd rather spend a weekend at Alabama Stakes rat infested house listening to his various conspiracy theories than bet another race.
