Saratoga Condition book is out
 

The Saratoga condition book is out. The longest older horse race is an overnight stakes at one mile and three sixteenths on 8/9.
We were hoping to run Evening Attire in Saratoga this year but if I have my way we will run in Philadelphia and then Delaware and not Saratoga. I cannot believe that they can’t write a 10F older horse race for the Saratoga meet.

I'm sorry to hear that! I love the old boy. He's one of the most popular horses in NY history.

I understand. With the "marathon" in the BC this year I think the Spa is missing the boat here. Evening Attire not at the Spa is a bummer.

Only the first half of the meet, maybe there will be something longer in the second book.

Whiner.

Same juicy purses as last year. Hope the fields will be as full as last year.

Yeah SRO in the NY Bred Races

is there a condition in there for a mare who flipped in saddle area last out and is owned by a bunch of insane mental patients?

The Ballerina?

I was hoping he could hit the board in Sartaoga so I could buy a drink at Siro's:)

I crawl around Caroline St. Now that is not a pretty condition in my book.

Some attractive 2 yr old maiden filly spots in the second and third weeks.
62K purse. :D

I'm too old for Caroline St. They have bouncers stationed at Broadway. No one over 40, strictly enforced!

No No No...just like high school.....you get a fake ID..:)

There's a $100K stakes race at 9.5F on August 9. With the dearth of handicap horses, wouldn't EA fit well there? Isn't that the same distance of the Queens County?

Hopefully, full fields for all the races. That's what made last year's meet so enjoyable. With big purses and and a condition coming up once or twice a book, everyone had to run, and the Pletchers and Frankels couldn't sit in the barn and wait for a spot to come up where their horse was odds-on. Having full fields in the two-turn races last year was particularly encouraging.

I wonder what impact the issues at Calder and Churchill will have on the meet, particularly given the size of the purses here.

Its actually 9.75f's for Evening Attire he spots the field a 1/16 before he gets a movin. Maybe a career as a pacer is in order ths way he gets into full stride as the race begins..lol..Love watching this horse finish races he looks like there is nothing in the world that matters other then getting to the wire. He really is a cool horse.

Pletcher, who is he, does he train anymore?

The Calder purses are absolutely terrible and the CD's aren't much either. Both states better get there she'at together or PID will become the Mecca of racing..And we all know what that means

Damn, I know...4th of July card at Belmont and NO entries and today a Saturday card with 10 races and he has only ONE. Is he in witness protection program or what? :cool:

Imagine having horses that injuries don't go away the next morning like everybody else. Hay and oats are a bitch baby.

Seriously evidentually Pletcher will be Pletcher again just in the form of a Mott. Great trainer who always will be great just not dominating every dam stake.
