8/22: Saratoga (Personal Ensign)

[Kasept]

Had yet another day where the handicapping found winners, a productive exacta and OK tri, but overall results were well south of standards. $130.00 tri in the third with Mickeless ($36.20) seemed 'short', but the Trouble Maker-Lady Carlock exacta in the listed stakes 7th ($63.50) was 'long'. With big weekend of racing upon us, looking to focus. Carryover approaches $50k Friday with the Gr. I Personal Ensign the feature to kick off the stakes-heavy festivities. Hope you did OK Thursday..

hey steve in the 4th I think you should be 1-9-4-6, nice to see you yesterday, my group at the track missed the $100k super in a photo for 4th, and no we did not have the tri. we had to eat some extra q sandwiches to try to forget

High Brass in the 1st race, Globalization of 07 would drown these however he is not the same horse he once was, he wouldn't be a surprise as the lone speed favorite but I'll take a chance High Brass is the now horse to be on.

Ramon couldn't have ruined the #2 in the first any worse if he planned it. He really has fallen off from a year ago..

He's not as good as consistent as last year, but he's still a jockey that can come up with a good result. I can't remember what the horse's name was but he got an overlooked Weaver horse to win a turf race earlier in the meet at a very nice price over a Shug horse. You always remember the one's that work out to balance out the dissapointments.

Knife and Fork in the 5th race might be dangerous for Contessa, who knows but he's 9-1. May be work a couple of dollars.

bombs away in the 7th... wow!

[infield_line]

I bet against Ginger Punch and did not use the 3, but what heart...

well done......

[ateamstupid]

EDIT: Carries to anyone but the 1,3,4,5,6. If freaking Ginger Punch hadn't gotten the whisker in front at the wire, we'd have a double-carry for sure.

Ginger Punch has made a fan out of me, she's all a racehorse should be. Exceptional effort, she never looked like a winner today but she got the job done again.

She's got alot of heart but I hope she keeps on winning these races because I am going to be betting against her big time if she goes to the BC cause her figs show she's really not that fast. She has certaintly taken the place of Ashado in my bet against list except she has worked herself out of some bad situations unlike Ashado who got races delivered to her on a platter.
