I accept and understand the card is this way, and rather choose to enjoy racing at Saratoga no matter what is thrown out there.

Surely we can make it through...
I'll take a "bad" Saturday, which I contend it actually isn't, over a good day just about anywhere else.

You can spin it anway you like. IMO if you had answered the guys post like NTAMM did (tactfully) I believe the issue would have been wrapped up after that. Saratoga usually has a mid meet weekend that is slower than the rest. Your response was more of attack the poster and dismiss their claims out of hand. This is a typical and "predictable" response by many in the industry in this situation. Kudos to Cannon for his candor.
