8/21: Saratoga (Ballston Spa)

[Kasept]

Wednesday's Travers Week opener turned out to be less explosive than anticipated, and even when I caught nice winners like the the 2nd's Relatively Ready ($14.40) or the 7th's Tomlinson Hill ($12.40), I couldn't put the right horses with them inter or intra race... Abandoned the early P4 when McPeek runner Sneak Peak scratched from the 2nd and only hit on 3 chalky P3's on the whole day. Bleech.. Hope you did OK. Maiden laden card Thursday that opens with the hoppers...
