Day One Recap
Tired as **** right now. Wish I had the disk reader for my camera so I could share some of the backstretch shots I got the other day.
Today was reckless man. Nothing like the type of broads you see on opening day at Saratoga. Made some decent money, but a terrible day at the windows. I gave a few winners out on this site (Massoud, Awesome Twist), but had no win money on either. Then needed Mach Three to bail me out at the end of the day and he didn't lift a foot. Nothing like handicapping well and losing money..
Tipsy again.. Matty was making the joke "Every entry on this journal is gonna be 'Got drunk with Hooves today', 'Got drunk with Hooves today' ".. LOL.
Bykster is in the other room handicapping for tomorrow. Sam AKA King of the Nightlife is actually in his bed at 11:04.. ****ing sight to behold man.. He and Pat are scooping up all the prospects and I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Not looking forward to tomorrow. Had some help today and tomorrow will be on my own. Hopefully the crowd isn't as large though.. Gotta prepare for that 12:30-3:30 run.
Ah, the card:
Say Revain looks logical in the 6th.. 7th is wide the **** open.. Scat Daddy is the horse to beat in the 8th, but if he loses, it'll be to anybody except Bagger Vance. Not much info there I guess.. Carlos Martin's assistant says Secret Agent wins the finale. Guess you got singles on the bookends of the late Pick Four. Who knows. Don't have any huge convictions about tomorrow's card.
Big respect to Patrick Biancone for putting Lady of Venice, possibly the best turf filly in the country, in The Diana. Gamesmanship. Something that's been lost in racing the last 10 years. Biancone is my new favorite trainer.
Enjoy Thursday, folks, I gotta get some sleep and make sure Sammy ain't sneaking out on the town without bringing me along.
