7/24: Saratoga (Day 6; Quick Call)
 

Highly productive start to the week Wednesday with only 7th race winner Treaty Oak escaping notice. Early chalk made multis easy up to that point and 9-1 Shankopotomus, and the $200+ exacta with 18-1 Street Shark, was just the tonic to make up a lot of ground on the opening weekend deficit. After whiffing on Treaty Oak to start the late quad, the last P3 for $250 further enhanced the bankroll. Hope everyone did well and made up any early lost ground. Thursday card doesn't 'feel' as potential-laden as yesterday's. There's a $67k C/O at Del Mar if interested in looking in that direction, though Friday's slate 'where the turf meets the surf' is even better than today's.
