7/30: Saratoga (Day 2/Gr. 2 Sanford)

[Kasept]

Spa opener an intoxicating mix of challenging and competitive full field racing, bonanza exotic payouts and a great turnout of eager patrons. Results were nearly exactly what was expected with enough survival hits to stay afloat and one generous exotics road map in the NYB juvenile 5th ($300 tri, $1,800 super). Hope you did OK Day 1!

Driving rain all night should result in off the turf decision at 7:30. Check NYRA website: http://www.nyra.com/trackconditions.html
