I hope you all have better luck than myself, but most importantly have fun. Its Saratoga time!

I really like Forest Jazzy in the 4th, but probably won't be able to bet her due to being stuck in Cooperstown tomorrow:mad: :mad:

Nothing wrong with that...Cooperstown would be my 2nd choice!!!

One day would have been fine, but I've been here all week, watching 12 year olds play double header baseball games... and more importantly, I'd rather be 65 miles to the north!

I'm 26 miles north of you right now...fpsoxfan used to ump those games...at Dreams Park.

Oh, selections...in no order yet...just my top 4 per race for now, it could change...

#1 3,4,6,8

#2 4,5,8,10

#3 1,2,4,7

#4 1,3,6,7

#5 3,5,7,8

#6 3,7,8,9

#7 3,5,7,12

#8 1,3,6,8

#9 1,2,4,8

#10 Don't care...I'm going to Leon's!!!

Good luck tomorrow. Baseball ends Thursday, will be at the Spa Friday:)

Know the feeling, but was there for other reasons, back and forth for 24 days :(

If you are watching your son play , that is one thing that makes it better than the races. You have the best of both worlds. Even missing opening day you have the best go.

8 in the 8th. Owner making special trip to see horse win.

He's got no shot against these. His maiden win may have been the worst Beyer assigned of all time (since amended.)
