Default 8/16: Saratoga (Day 24; West Point)

Long, wild day from NY to CA Wednesday with the Carryover Mania at Del Mar producing great interest and $2.5MM (P5) and $1.6MM (P6) jackpots. Not a lot of time to recap except to say that despite some good ideas, Muny in the 1st and Shrug in the featured 7th derailed the 5 & 6 tix. The unique situation made for great discussion and again demonstrated how motivated players are when opportunities are presented. Congrats to those who got the $474 and $16k paydays. Spa action was good too and though the chance to bookend the P4's fell short, Quartarolo's Mr. Algebra capped a nice finish to the afternoon featuring a $22.40 win tote and fat P3. Hope everyone enjoyed the big day and did well! Twin jumpers start Saratoga action ahead of 9 flat events including good West Point..
